RE: Illinois Beach State Park
Got there yesterday. About a half-dozen folks nude (not merely thonged) on the south unit. No sign of rangers at all.There was a group of three (two men, one woman), who seemed very willing to be seen, did not cover up when another couple walked by. I got in a skinny-dip: the water was warmer than it was in August.
My usual mini-coves on the north unit were devastated by the September storms, it's harder to walk the whole way without dodging fallen trees. Only saw one other person on the north unit, I spoke to a woman from Montana, who had no issues with a guy wearing only a towel.
I wish I could get out again today: even with a federal holiday, I'm up to my armpits in meetings.
