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.

    Been sitting in a complete downpour rain since 6:45 this morning, 15 minutes after I got in my stand. I have a few choice words about that, but I doubt they would ever get posted so why waste my time [:D]

    Took today off so I could hunt all day and I am soaked to the bone. I do feel better after getting home and taking a hit shower though. The rain is starting to ease up a bit so I might just be back out there after bit. Gotta eat some cheerios first though. [:)]

    Many times I have seen deer start to move, right after a hard rain.

    The only things that bother me are very high winds that make my stand do circles, and freezing rain. But, on a lighter note, are both good excuses to break out the bloody mary pitcher.
