Campin' at Illini!

Chrissy and I decided to go camping at the last minute. We went an hour and a half west of Chicago to a little town called Marseilles, IL at Illini State Park. It was a lot of fun and very interesting!



This was the weirdest cafe i've ever been in.. there was actually a smelly coffee bar with a bunch of older people chatting... strange, wish I had a photo of the inside.






Here sat our stalker. This guy followed us around the camp grounds, he asked if he could sleep on our site, kinda creepy! I wish he was sitting here at the time so you could see him. He said he was broke and homeless, but I do spot a seat and guitar!






Ok, this was so weird... it was a HUGE bardge thingy that carried a cancer causing chemical. It took up the entire Illinois River. It was so long I thought it was an aircraft carrier... ok so maybe i'm stretching it, but still -- i've never seen anything like it. I had to also post a picture of the worker checking the "cancer chemicals"...

so I grew up in marseilles and havent been there in like five years and was just searching in the blog stuff and found this and it just made my day to see that place. It sounds like you experienced carol's (the little cafe you went to) that as i remeber sold more porn then coffee. But its a different place. I just wanted you to know your pictures made my day!
