(26,495 posts)travel up (or down south) the river road that run along the Mississippi River (Illinois side), the leaves changing their colors along the road on the way are amazing, plus there are a few places to stop, grab a bite to eat, and even perhaps a ferry (it may no longer be in service) where you can cross the river back to the MO side, and eventually get home via Interstate 70.
It's a nice short round trip to enjoy...

I saw a lot of nature close up when I was in the Army. Don't need to see it anymore.
One of the first things early humans did after discovering that nature is too (hot, cold, dangerous, unpredictable, or just plain uncomfortable) was try to distance themselves from it. Caves, lean-tos, huts, hats, clothing, shoes, etc.
I prefer to be only on a nodding acquaintance with nature whenever possible.
