    Maybe someday this summer you go north and we'll head south and meet up in the middle at an un-hunted 10 acre park that was in use between 1850 and (when were pull tabs invented?) along with being rumored to hold multiple caches of gold coins. lol

    I was hoping we could have made a fall hunt together last season... but this we'll make sure our paths cross.

    We're about 170 miles apart, but I'm pretty sure that Milco is right in your area. Maybe we all do a little road time this summer and meet up some where in the middle.

    Some where in Green County would be about half way in between I bet. Now we just need to do some research and find a good site somewhere between Beloit, Brodhead, Monroe area. We just need to keep talkin' about it and it will happen.

    Yes, you are correct. I'll start some research this weekend for Green county and see what we can get rolling. Sure beats looking outside and being depressed.
