Clint isn’t the only traveler in the family. I [Clint’s Mom] just returned from a weekend at the Shawnee National Park in Southern Illinois. The rock formation called the Garden of the Gods” is really worth seeing. I don't usually like heights and standing on the edge of a cliff, but the Garden of the Gods didn't intimate me totally!
There are several other sites around there to see, some are hard to find but it seems like asking for directions is very common! It is a nice trip and well known for great horseback riding – so of course I had to see for myself. The ride was great – the best trail ride I ever went on! If you have a need for shopping and antiquing, Paducah KY is not far away.
