Just Got Back
We went to Turkey Run SP in In this week for a couple of days. We were able to break the new to us camper we bought. It rained a couple of nights and we enjoyed ourselves either under the awning or inside in the air while our neighbors were sitting in their car. It was a great trip for the wife, Will, and I.
We did the 8 mile canoe trip and hiked for a couple of days. The trails they have are excellent. What scenery. At one point of climbing straight up Will mentions what a pain it would be to drop a deer up here.
For me it was only a 2 hr drive. Some of you other Il guys it would be alittle closer. We plan on going back next year. It was well worth it.

From the Dr. I've been having a very high heart rate for about a week. It has been in the 100's just sitting around. Went in to discuss the results of the heart monitor that I had to wear and the EKG. One of the questions I was asked was if my heart ever races. I told him only when I'm deer hunting. That got a good chuckle out of him.
BTW, they found nothing really wrong. Told me to limit my caffine which I don't drink much of and that it was probably just stress.0 -
It is a very nice park and only a half hour from me. Try doing a poker run on the winding roads, it's a blast also. 0 -

We did the 8 mile canoe/kayak trip. The wife and I did the canoe and the son was in a "kayak." It was a great time. There are things that we will do differently next year but we still had a great time.0 -

If you ever need a canoe, buy it off those people. I bought a canoe that was beat up, but floats just fine. The seats/braces were all intact. I only paid $45.

The group we went with used only Old Towne. Although it wasn't a flat back Grumman, that seat was dang comfy.0 -

You could see the bottom about everywhere. 2-3'. A few holes that were @5' There were a few spots though that we were wondering if we could make it through without getting hung up on the bottom.
I will say that it was the clearest river that I have ever been on.0
