To Michael,
Who is not only a great hiking partner
and editor, but also my best friend.
Together, even the flash floods, mud slides,
and bewilderment of being lost could not dampen
each unique experience we shared.

Acknowledgments

As I hiked and wrote, many people made the job easier. My thanks go first to all the staff members and volunteers at nature centers, state parks, and forest preserves for answering innumerable questions and providing maps.

Don and Eileen Dickerson cared for Mr. Pix during my absences, always seemed to have a much-needed reference or map, and provided many words of encouragement. Wayne Frankie gave me expert geological advice, and Cathy Eastman provided me with overall support and Mr. Pix with care. Erin Knight suggested hikes, provided maps, and field-tested several trail write-ups. Joyce Hofmann provided a much-needed second vehicle and was a partner for linear hikes; she field-tested several hikes and provided maps. Thanks to Scott Simon and Bill Handel for their ideas on hiking in northern Illinois. James Seets provided invaluable assistance with maps and advice on hiking in southern Illinois. Jean and Gene Gray provided welcome northern Illinois hospitality. Finally, my appreciation goes to the 1996 purple loosestrife team (especially Rob Wiedenmann and Charlie Helm) for picking up the slack during my sojourns afield.
