Author Bio

John Schirle was raised in central Illinois and has been back in his home state since 1993. Since his college days he has loved getting away in the outdoors: camping, hiking, canoeing, and, more recently, caving. As a result hes spent countless hours scouring the region for the ideal tent-camping getaways. Hes had a personal goal for some years of visiting every single state park in Illinois (which he hasnt yet achieved, although hes a lot closer now!). Over the years hes been a Bible translator in central Africa, a college professor, camp program director, and is currently a childrens librarian in his hometown of Decatur, Illinois.
