Lake Mermet is down in southern Illinois where towns of 200 - 500 population are the norm. Local gravel quarry and a power plant are the biggest employers. Cypress trees grow in the swamps around the Cache River. Lots of two lane roads and farm land. Made for a quiet holiday drive with a couple photo opps along the way.
Nicely done! Great heron!
