Humm yes I am a bit jealous but, Illinois doesn't have any good snowboarding runs, it's all flat land out there. hehehehehehehehehe <br />[/quote] <br />Not entirely - While it's no comparison to the Alleghanies, or even the hills of SE Michigan (I was so glad to get home while in the AF and actually see some!), I recall a long grade headed southbound into Rantoul, and there's a town between Rantoul and Kankakee where the rails are actually about 20 feet below ground level... <br /> <br />But you're right about the snowboarding thing, although if you could find somebody with a ski rope and an ATV, you could probably have some fun! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />the town you're thinking about is Paxton, IL. the surrounding area is all flat but somehow that town made it up on a grassy knoll of sorts. nice place though, my brother moved there a little over a year ago. <br /> <br />i didn't realize there was all this bisquits and gravy talk goin on. i could live on that stuff....but probably not for long lol
