Dillard’s Mill State Historic Site – A Place for Hikers and Non-Hikers (Trail Review Included)
With the promise of a beautiful spring day in the forecast, I found it necessary to get outside and hike or “do something.” I wanted to venture a little further from home than we normally do on a regular basis and turn it into a bit of a day drive. So Aaron and I set […]
The Gift of Adventure – Sam’s Birthday Trip to The Hill

Hike, Wine, and Dine – A Day in Southern Illinois
Early one (almost) spring, Sunday morning, I woke up and had an itch to explore someplace new!
