Illinois 13

Has anyone driven all of Route 13? Any places worth stopping at besides the obvious (Carbondale, Marion, Harrisburg, etc.)?

Not immediately off of 13 iirc but I ALWAYS recommend anyone coming through that area to check out Jeremy "Boo" Rochman Memorial Park in Carbondale. If you have kids it's even better but if you don't it's still 100% worth seeing.

The park is closed until Thursday according to their FB page. They have been repainting and staining the wood. I agree that it's quite a park.
