Forest Preserves of Cook County Camping

Palatine's Camp Reinberg is a welcome respite in greater Chicago. It's brand new, conveniently located and easily accessible off of the highways. They have 12 campsites , half with hookups. We have the place to ourselves.

Friends Irene and John popped in last night for a glass of wine and quick visit. It's always nice to see my high school friend and her very talented artist husband.

There are miles of bike paths right outside our door here. Today we'll explore nature on the bikes and probably find an Italian beef sandwich at a Portillo's.
