Fort de Chartres

I took a road trip with my wife yesterday, a nice way to spend a vaction day. She needed to pick up something in Cape Giradeau, MO, about 2.5 hrs south of us.  We decided to meander the way down, and came upon Fort de Chartres State Historic Site, just outside Prairie du Rocher, IL.  Pretty cool spot, dating all the way back to 1720.  Maybe when the colors come in we can plan another day trip to the region....

There's a few more photos of the site at Panoramio, including a paorama...
