I knew it. Corn kills.
The LGC is south of Murphysboro (on the way back we ate at Tippy's there -
great deep fried catfish and steak). The roads got progressively
more rural as we tried to find the LGC.
The LGC is a canyon, though filled with trees unlike the traditional
Grand Canyon. Its scenic, but even to get to the overlook one must
follow a 1/2 mile trail that changes 200 ft in elevation, or so a
sign claims. LIAR. Those
numbers have to be multiplied by a factor of 10. They must be.
Still, once there, this is your reward.
Jill thought this sign was silly: "Many plants and animals live here."
"No, they commute" she said.
Okay, how do we get back to civilization?
We the bridge we crossed was at Chester - we crossed it again on
the way home.
We finally found the Popeye statue - its right across the bridge were
we weren't looking for it.
Its in this small park.
The park also has a few other interesting signs. We wanted Route 3,
not the other places.
