With generous support from the US Forest Service, we were able to take 5/6 to hike Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie near Joliet. Rain could not dampen student spirits as they explored ammunition bunkers (Midewin is an old Army base), pondered osage oranges, and encountered Midewin's majestic bison herd.
The team from Bus for Outdoor Access and Teaching got us there and back in style.
