redrock777,

how long of a commute is it from The Wisc. state line to Rockford?

It takes me between 15 and 20 minutes to get to the Northeast side of Rockford from Roscoe. (just depends on how many deer I have to dodge). :rolleyes:

funny you should mention deer, I live down by the Illinois river, and see alot of deer on my property, last night after the bar I saw a couple, and I tried to get close but they took off. I get alot of deer, and turkeys at my house.

My son moved to Danville last year from Fairfield California. If you guys hold a meet I'd try to mix pleasure with pleasure and kill two birds with a load of buckshot. See my new grandaughter again too. It would be a first time visit for my RL though.

Danville sure confuses my cell phone time. It is always swithing back and forth between Indiana and Danville time. Seems to depend on which pocket I put it in.

It doesn't say you have to currently live in Illinois and as far as I'm concerned, even though I've lived in Arizona for the past 25 years, I also lived in Illinois for the first 25 years. So I'm still an illinoisan. Born and raised in Pekin! Worked at Caterpillar for 5 years.
