Summer Visit: Grand Tower, Illinois
Grand Tower has fascinated me wince my father took us there when he was scout master for the Carbondale Branch troop 151. I was told that the island was the smallest National Park in the United States. It actually is not a National Park but is part of a Conservation area which is small and includes some of the Missouri shore. When I was traveling from Carbondale to St. Louis I made it a point to drive past this area and take a few pictures. The campground is called Devil's Backbone. The island tower is actually in Missouri. When the water is very low you can access the island from the Missouri side. I was always fascinated by tragedy of the wedding story which left me forever scared of whirlpools on the Mississippi.
