Look out IL!!!!

The "Rock Star" trailer is loaded and ready to head south!



Johnny and I are heading out around 8am tomorrow and making the 500 mile trip down to the lease to hook up with great friends JZ and Duke. Gonna be lots o laughs and an all around good time. I've been looking forward to this all year!

Look out Big Rob, here come the Mexican American Canadian bad asses!!!! :D

 

Dan, drive safe, have a blast, and let some air out of something!!! I look forward to the updates, Brah!

 

Hopefully by the time you get down here it's not a constant rain. Best of luck to you this weekend.

 

Good Luck!

Wave you drive past Bloomington IL.

 

Ok, here's a question. What is the fastest way to Mount Sterling if I'm driving from WI past Rockford? My GPS has me take a bunch of small highways and it seems like I zig zag all over.

 

Good luck on Big Rob Dan, I'm hope'n for ya!

 

Take 39/51 south to Bloomington. Head onto I-55. You can then head down to Springfield and do the snakey road thing back up to Mt Sterling...... Or if you're like me, you can take rt 136 (turn at Mclean) take that over to rt 24 which goes right into Mt Sterling. No back tracking that way.

It's still twisty but more direct.

 

Good luck brother, be safe and have fun!

 

That looks like a ton of fun! Good luck.

 

Thanks Christine! I'd rather stick to major roads most of the way down when pulling this beast.

 

Good luck, drive safe

 

Well, you know there are no 'major' roads in that section of IL.

You'll spend less time on 'back roads' if you go past Springfield and take 72 over and then go up through Meredosia.

136 and 24 aren't bad at all but there are a couple of turns where you'd have to watch out with your trailer but nothing a competent driver can't handle. (you should see the stuff I pull an 8.5' wide pontoon boat through!)

Your only real challenge will be the combines on the road but with all this rain, they probably won't be out for a couple of days.

 

Good luck this weekend fellas! Whereabouts in IL are you guys hunting? You guys ever hunt any properties close to Menard/Cass County?

 

Good luck, looks like a great time.

 

Yeah, there really is no easy way to get down there. It's not really that big of a deal pulling the trailer around, I've got enough experience doing it.

Thanks again Christine!

 

We'll be in Brown/Pike counties. Never hunted anywhere in IL except here.....last year was my first year and this year will definitely not be my last!

 

Ahh cool I live and hunt right on the Menard/Cass border so when you're hunting Brown county you guys are only a county away!

 

Best of luck Dan! I hope you guy's have a great time and great hunting.

 

Good luck, Dan! Looking forward to some success pics, hopefully. And be care with that rig set-up. . . damn thing's bigger than my house :D

 

Dam Dan, your bringing the house with ya :D welcome to the Midwest
