I will be reviewing trails in Southern Illinois and discussing topics relevant to the preservation and protection of our precious Earth. I hope you enjoy what you see here and you leave with the courage to make some much-needed changes in our world.

| April showers at Bell Smith Springs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bell Smith Springs is one of my favorite spots in Southern Illinois. It's a truly incredible area, the terrain is un-earthly! This picture is of my dog Indie, he's a great hiking partner. Please do what you can to keep areas like this litter-free. It's not enough to just carry out what you carry in, bring a garbage bag with you and if you find any trash take the time to carry it out, too. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
