    I didn't know that was still open. We used to ride that back in the 70's. Camped at Karber's Ridge.

    You only get in trouble if you get caught. Fire roads are legal for licensed bikes Some of those are fun.

    I saw yesterday, (Herald Whig) that 106 was closed near Florence for sandbagging efforts. In the pictures, looked as if the water was close to the bottom of the bridge near the old woodies. Hope you all are safe on the west coast of IL. Side note, the South Park karting race this weekend. Wifey has me hog tied doing her bidding over the weekend. I really miss that race. You still hungry?
