On Oct 2nd, Sarah and I decided to go for a hike at the Garden of the Gods located near Herod IL. The Garden of the Gods in located in southern Illinois in the Shawnee National Forest. The wilderness area is over 320 million years old and covers over 3,300 acres of beautiful forest. The sediment rock in this area is over 4 miles deep and the fractured bedrock and created various rock formations. Sarah and I observed many rock formations and wildlife. The rock formations included: Camel Rock, Turtle Rock, and Knights of the Round Table. We traveled to Garden of the Gods by car and it took us over an hour to reach our destination. The trip from Wham to Garden of the Gods was over 60 miles. The latitude and longitude coordinates were 37.609880 - 88.387985. Sarah behaved well for me, but I didn't let her stray very far for the high cliffs can be dangerous.
