Campout  March 16-18 in Southern Illinois at Giant City State park
 near Carbondale. All are invited.  Located 350 miles southwest of
 Chicago, 100 miles southeast of Saint Louis, 200 miles north of
Memphis. There are hookups, cabins  or tent camping. Heated showers
 and restrooms.
    Giant City state park is one of Illinois finest, and very scenic.  Located
on giant city road south east of Carbondale or just east of Makanda.
    From the west,  north or east on rt 13 in Carbondale,  last main
 intersection east side of Carbondale (just east of the mall) turn south
 on Giant city road.  Stay on Giant city road  past the stables  turn south
  to the campgrounds. I am guessing about 5 miles from rt
13.
      From the south turn off rt 51 eastward toward  Makanda and Giant city
 park when you see the signs,  you will be about 10 miles north of Anna.
  Go through Makanda and then into and through the  park,  just north
 of the cabins and lodge look for and turn east on  Giant City road toward
 campground/ stables.  After 0.5 miles turn south to the campground.
     Any questions  contact me.  midwesty@midwest.net
