During his college days, he developed a love for getting away in the outdoors--camping, hiking, canoeing, and, more recently, caving. As a result, he has spent countless hours scouring the region for the ever-elusive ideal tent-camping getaway. His personal goal for some years has been to visit every single state park in Illinois (he hasn't yet achieved this goal, but he's a lot closer now!). Over the years he has been a Bible translator in central Africa, a college professor, and a camp program director, and he is currently a children's librarian in his hometown of Decatur, Illinois.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Menasha Ridge Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42657133330669,"sku":"9781634041041","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_d0860226-c08d-4a4c-b6af-df6acdc701fc.jpg?v=1649307942","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/best-tent-camping-illinois-your-car-camping-guide-to-scenic-beauty-the-sounds-of-nature-and-an-escape-from-civilization-9781634041041","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
