Here's to  summer time in southern Illinois. The Shawnee forest provides this area with much beauty. This area is called bell smith spring and is a lovely place for families to visit.

    I've been to Illinois, but only to Chicago. I have found places of beauty there - but not like this. I love a lazy wooded river - always makes me want to canoe!
