Spring is here, and summer's just around the corner!

We camp, bike, hike and canoe from spring through fall (r**n or shine!) throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Day hikes, day bike rides, weekend camping trips and cabin camping are on the schedule.

(And if you're not already a Friar, summer memberships are only $15! A mere pittance...)
