Rock Art in Illinois. Who Knew?
A few days ago we visited Piney Creek Ravine near Campbell Hill, IL (drive 8 miles from Route 4 in Campbell Hill, just follow the signs). The State Natural Area was pretty amazing. When you start the hike, you are walking through a typical Southern Illinois field that is full of bugs and making you wonder if you are in the right place. But after just a short distance you quickly drop down into the Ravine and travel through a small cedar grove into a forest of hardwoods. About a mile into the hike you come to the rock art.
