Fresh meat from Illinois just getting into this whole technology thing. I've Ben out west a bit n always want to learn more, hopefully I can pic up a few things from ya all!
I'm in Troy and have property north of Kampsville. Used to drive thru Grafton all the time to get there until they opened up 255 that gets me close to Jerseyville and knocked 10 to 15 minutes off my drive.
I uploaded a rattlesnake on this thread that came from Grafton this spring, maybe you have seen the pic?
