In our little community of Harding, IL, Spook Road lies just east of town a few miles. From downtown Harding, take 40th road east, cross Rt. 23, and continue east on 40 th Rd. half a mile, then turn left on the first road, which is 1950th Rd. This is a steep descent to a small bridge crossing the Indian Creek River. Teens frequent this bridge late at night, and tell tales of mysterious voices, laughter, and sometimes drums (?) coming from the darkness. This area is said to be haunted by the ghosts of an Indian attack from the 1830s only a short distance away (Google "Indian Creek Massacre"). Not a place for the faint of heart.

You can also get to "Spook Road" via Route 34, and living in Sandwich, IL that route was easiest for me. So going away from Sandwich, heading towards Leland stay on Rt.34. Continue past Somonauk. Once you're well past Somonauk, make a left onto E 1950th Road. This road is a long one so don't get worried! Then FINALLY after you drive past N 41st Road, you're almost there! Drive a little further and you'll find the woods. Keep going through the woods until you come across a bridge...if you've found the bridge, then you've found "Spook Road"! Congratulations! Want more fun? There's a "hidden" cemetery literally just up the road. Once you've finished exploring the bridge and want to see the cemetery, jump back in the car and continue forward on E 1950th Road. You'll come to a stop sign. Make a left onto N 40th road. You'll go past a few houses, then you'll drive REAL close to the woods. SLOW DOWN! If you pay close attention (looking left towards the woods), there should be a large log on the ground marking the entrance to the "hidden" cemetery.

ill-in-oy

Illinois is a French word. The correct pronunciation is Ill-in-nwa.

In general, most people still drive. However, especially in the parts of the city close to the Lakefront, a large percentage walk, bike or take public transportation. We have subway system that is elevated in parts, and a large bus system as well. There is also the second-largest commuter rail system in the U.S. (after New York) serving mostly downtown during rush hour, but with some service every day of the week.

While most Chicagoans do have a car, close to 30% of households in the City of Chicago proper live car-free - about half of those by choice and not because of economic necessity.

For places outside of Chicago, we have two international airport, Amtrak train service and several different private interstate bus companies serving Chicago.

Fluorspar, lead, coal, and zinc are mined in Illinois.

There is no city on the border of the City of Chicago and the State of Michigan, as the two never touch.

The State of Tennessee is south of the State of Illinois.
