We will be at Forbes part of the time this summer. Plan on going to Carlyle, Coles Creek part of the time and maybe Rend Lake and try it out. It's hard to beat the price at the Corps camp grounds with the goldenage card. Later, Jerry Nix

My wife and I want to go to Rend Lake State Park. I use to go by it twice a week, when I drove grocery delivery truck. I was in Mt. Vernon for three nights. I would do Benton, Sesser, DuQuoin, Percy, Murphyboro, Carbondale, Marion, McLeansboro (another tornado story) Salem, Mt. Vernon, Flora, Fairfield, West Franfort, Louisville, and some other towns. I can't remember the name of the town just west of Louisville, Illinois, on I-57. Anyway, on a day trip from Effingham, I took my wife down to Rend Lake, and it is on our list of places to visit. There use to be a small bait shop/grocery store just outside of Forbes, and I would stop there for a sandwich every now and again.
Glad to know the trailer will fit at Forbes. Will have to put that on our places we want to visit. Thanks for the information.
Safe Travels,
