Garden of the Gods *pics*

[331 LX]

A little late on this post but I just now got these hosted. This is a place a couple hours from me called Garden of the Gods in Illinois. Very neat place, just thought I'd share.

Just to give you an idea how big these are - there is a guy in this picture. lol

Very wild tree..

Yours truely on said tree. LOL

After several attempts to set my timer and get back on the rock without killing myself - a shot of my hiking buddies and I.

Hope y'all like them.

That's a neat looking place. Reminds me of the baths in the BVIs.

Is that in southern Illinois I assume? Lived in Wisconsin for several years and would have gone to this if were in the northern part of the state.

Hey, that's not too far from me!

.....never been there.

Lol - It's pretty damn cool if you're into that kind of thing. It's pretty unbelievable.

JPro- Yup, it's in Southern Illinois.

Went to Colorado about six months ago and drove through the Garden of the Gods park. My wife and I really weren't all that into it.

Some of those photos remind me of the Natural Bridge State Resort Park in Slade, Kentucky. I was there back in 2002 and it blew me away. Beautiful country.

That's pretty neat. Not as cool as the one in Colorado, but still pretty neat.

Definitely looks like a good time. Six hour drive for me is no joke though. Not happening anytime soon.

Your natural bridge pic looks wildly similar to the one near us!

Yeah, that's the bridge in the Shenandoah Valley

Here is the one in Kentucky.

That's about 45 minutes away from where I live now. Really cool area with a lotta hiking and arches.

Only an hour away from me; been there plenty of times.

Oh, and your jacket is missing a D at the beginning and an E on the end

I love that place. Nice pcitures. Did you check out Rim Rock? It's pretty close to Garden of the Gods.

Thank you.. Yup, Some of those pictures are actually from Rim Rock.. We went to Garden of the Gods and then made our way to Rim rock. I can't wait to go in the Fall to take pics again. I'm sure it's amazing.

Thanks for the kind words.

Edit- CobraBOB - Nice! I have been there too! There are some really neat places to visit around my area within a couple hours of travel.

Agreed! I'm hoping to scoop up some tickets if possible. If not, I'm still not going into work so I can watch it ; I've got some money riding on that game LOL.

Would be a hell of a game to go to.. I'm hoping its us two in the championship for a little pay back. And I'm with ya, I won't be working for the champions classic either. haha
