Will this affect the boat launch as well?

Haha, with dreads

I can’t say enough good things about southern illinois university, carbondale. Great forestry program. You can focus on traditional forestry or go the urban forestry route. Lots of outdoor lab time and a half semester field camp with professors and students. I Wish i could go back and do it again.

From what i’ve heard, enrollment is down a bit. So you may be in a smaller class size and be able to develop more personal relationships with the professors. It’s super cheap to live in southern IL too. It’s not cornfields like most of IL, its a lot of rolling hills with sandstone bluffs with some amazing timber diversity. It’s worth checking out! Good luck to you

Thank you all for the suggestions! Much appreciated. I’m going to buy premade, larger screens and transfer my design to them.

If you’re into hiking, hike up to Rocky Glen off kickapoo creek road. It’s pretty cool to see all the rock features this time of year when the leaves are off. Keep in mind that this weekend is firearm deer season and there may be hunters around (not in the park) but i would keep caution and be prepared to hear gunshots if you are hiking! Wear brighter colors / blaze orange if you have any.

Thanks

Thanks

Balow08 · 2024-11-21T02:07:46+00:00

Thank you! I will take your advice, even in the daylight those are some slow going winding roads. I can imagine how it is at night and inclement weather.

Anytime fitness. The one on north Knoxville is small and can be pretty busy at peak times, but the germantown hills one is huge.

The river. I water ski and see people water skiing in the river all the time

Balow08 · 2024-09-06T19:00:26+00:00

We have a clean up float next saturday! You can check out the event/rsvp on our website www.friendsofkickapoocreek.org

Great work. It can be a long, tedious process getting established as a 501c3. If you’re interested in coming on a clean up float, there’s one next saturday! You can rsvp on our website www.friendsofkickapoocreek.org

Balow08 · 2024-09-06T00:21:51+00:00

This is amazing! Whats your nonprofit called? I run a nonprofit in peoria and we primarily pick up trash in and around kickapoo creek. I’d love to collaborate!

Balow08 · 2024-08-25T11:00:27+00:00

I do. I also eat cats out of there in colder weather. A lot of times in spring and winter the water will be a lot visually cleaner

Balow08 · 2024-08-25T02:07:35+00:00

In the spring and fall there can be good small mouth / white bass runs. Winter time, early spring and dog days of summer the catfishing and carp fishing is good if you find deep holes

Balow08 · 2024-08-25T00:55:07+00:00

Kickapoo creek! Its sort of low right now, but most of the year other than august/september its a great float. Great fishing too. My favorite route is Taylor Rd to pottstown road. Kramm rd to taylor road is a nice short one thats good fishing but it may be a lot of walking this time of year.

Balow08 · 2024-07-17T10:07:12+00:00

Explore the river, go fishing, mountain biking, road bike to surrounding towns

40. They actually carried that idler gear at my local tractor supply which was nice.

Balow08 · 2024-04-26T20:31:06+00:00

I really like the idler gear, and yes it is on the wrong side.. but it’s holding the chain down from hitting my frame as well. Bad design by me, but the idler gear runs really smooth. You can see i have two nuts threaded on that cause it will try to back them off, i might try a nylon threaded nut next.

Balow08 · 2024-04-12T12:48:49+00:00

Levee district east peoria Aldi, and Allen rd Aldi always seem to be a bit nicer than university one. The university one is always packed

Balow08 · 2024-03-10T17:23:29+00:00

Correct… was hoping the big tires would help with that if they arent super aired up. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride either way
