Some grass to play in, decent sized playground, 1 basketball court, one shelter with 2 tables. Nice neighborhood park, if I couldnt walk to I wouldnt seek out.
Boulware Trail - Champaign Will Giblin: I have run here many times. This is a hidden gem in the Champaign-Urbana area. I was on the cross country team and we would ways run here while out and about. It was always clean and it was always close to a Porta John somewhere which is nice. There is a 9 mile loop you can connect with this that we made up by running around the streets of Champaign and Urbana.
Sousa Archives and Center for American Music - Champaign Carolyn Schroeder: Scott took us on a tour with Sam & Susan Reese.
His insightful comments about the then, avant garde technology of the 60s & 70s were mesmerizing.
Also, coming from a Marine Corps family, Sousas music holds a special place in my heart. I was delighted to see his original piccolo part for Star & Stripes Forever & news archives about him.
Thank you, Scott.

Sangchris Lake State Park - Rochester Michael Straith: Signal is hard to get here, but other than that, this is a gem of a campground. We stayed in the Hickory Point campground, which is the one with the shower house. The camp was very helpful, and ice and firewood are available near check-in. Seems as if every site has a view of the water, so bring your poles if youre an angler. Its only a 30-minute drive to Springfield if you want a great variety of restaurants and a trove of Lincoln sites and activities to explore.
Giant Hand with Painted Nails - Pana Maureen VanBrooker: Our GPS took us on a backroad by Pana, Il. We were slowly and randomly driving and watching for deer, which were pretty thick and all of the sudden, I was like... What!?! Someone severed off a giants hand and put it here in the middle of nowhere?!? My husband said, Thats cool. Then as we got closer, we saw the red fingernails on the hand and the hand holding the world, the red justin boot, the stick with the corvette, a random scoreboard. All those put together kind of took away the creepiness of the hands themselves just laying there. What a weird crazy thing to see out of nowhere lol. Thanks to whoever owns them.
