(For children of all walking ages.)

Rock River Valley, Oregon, IllinoisFriday - Sunday, May 7 - 9, 2004

Join us for this fun-filled weekend of hiking and playing. This valley has a wealth of state parks: White Pines Forest, Castle Rock, Lowden and Franklin Creek. We'll visit them all. Each location offers a unique experience and view of this area, known as Black Hawk country.

We breakfast at an excellent restaurant in the lodge and have Friday night dinner there. Saturday night we go out for a pizza party before returning to build a bonfire. We have one trail lunch on a hill overlooking the Rock River and another by a creek.

We feel this area is ideal for this tour because both the housing and terrain are suited to all ages. We welcome parents, and also think it is a great tour for grandparents, aunts and uncles or good friends to bring youngsters of their choice.
