The Deerpath car once had two other private cars attached to it.
Deerpath was nicknamed Cowpath by the riders of the regular coaches & one of the other ones was nicknamed Psychopath.
One of the things I hate about Starved Rock is that the only hint (and it's only a hint) of nature you get within 200 miles of this city is plastered with boardwalks and fences and gates and signs warning idiots about dangerous cliffs, because I guess Illinois people have never figured out this whole gravity thing. And I suppose now, our caretakers will head out to make it worse.

There are some good spots w/in 200 miles, you just need to know where to look.
One I might recommend for you would be a place called Shades State Park in Waveland, IN.
Here is the wikipedia entry;

Better canyons and trails, geared more towards people who camp regularly. It was one of my favorite campgrounds while scouting. Great scenery, access to canoeing, and during the fall a short drive to the Feast of the Hunters Moon
