    Southern Illinois Slightly Cold Butt Hang!!!!!

    I would like to get a group together for a new years night out. I am thinking about going to Sam Dale Lake near Johnsonville, IL.
    I live about 45 miles from the campground, so I will most likely be there around noon to start getting stuff ready. I will have to organize firewood.
    There are plenty of grills there for cooking steaks and what not.
    Hope to see you there!

    Here are just a couple pictures of the campground. I don't think we will have trouble finding trees to hang from. My only concern would be wind coming off of the lake. That shouldn't be a problem with the proper tarp though.
