    Forest Glen, IL - April 9-11

    Hey all! We are going to head to the Forest Glen Preserve near Danville on April 9-11. Come on out and join us for a nice hike and hospitality!

    We will be at the 'group camp' which is at approximately mile 3.5 on the Backpacker Trail. Their website has a pretty good map and info. I chose this camp area as the amenities are a little nicer. (trash cans and much nicer toilet facility than East Camp).

    I'll have a registration in which is good for up to 10 people.

    I wish I could make it, but my wife's birthday is on the 10th. Hopefully next time will work out.

    One question is how about drinking water?

    There is not water at the site. There are water sources nearby to gather water for purification though.

    Are you me? My wife’s is also the 10th... And I think my UQ won’t show up for another week or two after anyway... bummer, would really love to get in one this.

    Unfortunately I cannot make this one. Any other trips planned for April and beyond? I should be able to make any after this weekend.

    None others planned at this time, but I'll post here if/when we do.

    Once again, come on out for a couple of nights at this gem in what is otherwise pretty flat country. Won't be a lot of us here, but we will have a good time regardless.

    I’m still planning on coming down. Aiming for Friday night but that depends on the work scheduled for that day. Looking forward to getting out, meeting new people and seeing Forest Glen.
