October Supermoon

2016 Out West, Illinois, Road Trip

Our home for the evening was on the shore of Lake Carlyle in a Army Corps of Engineers campground with the most unoriginal name of Dam West. It was a pleasant place to pause for the night or to linger for several days. And it was a beautiful place from which to view the October Full Moon reflecting off the surface of the lake while enjoying perfect weather and gentle breezes.

Since we haven’t shopped for groceries recently we popped into the local McDonalds where we received some most extraordinary service. We wanted to post a rave review on Yelp! but couldn’t find a listing for the specific location.
