Cook County Camping: Camp Shabbona Woods

Did you know that there are a handful of campgrounds within a day’s bike ride of Chicago?  Here are some photos from a little weekend adventure that the moose and I took to Shabbona Woods… will write more about this journey later, but for now, enjoy the pictures!

This guy is pooped… and he didn’t even have to pedal. I’m about ready to use a landscape timber for a pillow too… but first, fooooood!What do you do when you forget your spoon? Be glad you brought your trusty SOG knife and whittle one! Cue camp song now… “Great big gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts, mutilated monkey meat, little birdie’s dirty feet… all mixed up to make a tasty dinner treat, and I forgot my spoon!”
