If you love beautiful things, Illinois has some options and none are better than what amounts to a humongous rock garden that you can hike through if you're brave.
If you love the lake life, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg on the pastime, a Missouri place was just named the most affordable lakeside town in America.
If you bring up this Missouri place to anyone that's adventured there, you'll hear phrases like "must visit", "one of a kind" and "unique in and of itself". It's not only one of the most popular Amish places in Missouri, but also one of the largest and most desirable in America.
