Author Bio

John Schirle was raised in central Illinois and has been back in his home state since 1993. During his college days, he developed a love for getting away in the outdoorscamping, hiking, canoeing, and, more recently, caving. As a result, he has spent countless hours scouring the region for the ever-elusive ideal tent-camping getaway. His personal goal for some years has been to visit every single state park in Illinois (he hasnt yet achieved this goal, but hes a lot closer now!). Over the years he has been a Bible translator in central Africa, a college professor, and a camp program director, and he is currently a childrens librarian in his hometown of Decatur, Illinois.
