I just picked up my first issue of
Chicago Wilderness Magazine at Whole Foods. I was interested in so many of the places that
were mentioned in the magazine but being a city dweller it's going to take some research to figure out where they are and the best way to get there. There is nothing I hate more than being excited to get outside only to get in the car and get stuck in traffic. It's amazing how much planning you have to do to enjoy the outdoors when you live in a big city.
I was really surprised and happy to discover the magazine and the organization, Chicago Wilderness. I even wrote to tell them so and they sent me some great links to opportunities and resources to get more involved with nature in Chicago.
