Biking the Des Plaines River Trail

I've biked over 240 trails across the country, and one day as I tried to rank the top 10 of these trails, I realized one of them is right here in Lake County Illinois -- the Des  Plaines River Trail.  Thank you, Forest Preserve District of Lake County for the DRT (and also the Millennium/Fort Hill complex.)  These are 2 world class trails in our own backyard, AND WE OWN THEM!

And what better to place to stop for a drink or bite to eat and a wonderful view, right at our very own Cafe in Independence Grove!
