Has anyone been to west virginia also? Many seem to dislike it there, although it does look pretty over crowded by too many mountains etc, I always thought it seemed pretty nice. Especially virginia. Although I would fancy seeing the eastern, I know I would definitely prefer oregon, more western states i think. Only a little more though😛
Oh I would love the roads in IL!! omg LOL! 😛
But I also heard that Illinois is rather bring too. But chicago is not going to be boring exactly.
Illinois is not boring. Most of the cool stuff is centered around the Chicago area, like all the museums and such downtown, and then things in the suburbs, such as the Brookfield Zoo, which is one of the largest zoos in the US (and is right next to the high school I went to and within walking distance of my house).
Further from the city you have places like Starved Rock State Park, which is simply gorgeous - forests and waterfalls and canyons and ravines, I've been there several times. The northwestern part of the state, like near Galena and such, has low mountains, the western border of the state is the Mississippi River...
It's not a boring state at all. Outside of Chicago it tends to be fairly rural but there's a lot of neat stuff.
