Did you know that Illinois has prickly pear cactus? We didn’t believe it either, so years ago my backpacking/hiking buddy Len and I went to Sand Ridge State Forest which is Illinois' largest state forest at 7280 acres just minutes southwest of Peoria. We asked the ranger where the cactus was and he took us out the front door of the ranger station, brushed aside some taller plants, and there it was!
