    someone just told me that cook county forest preserves are off limits? I haven't been bothered once yet. Whatever you do, don't play soccer in the park, you;ll get a tix

    I'm serious about the playing soccer in the park, i'm sure you heard. HH

    Forget the parks but there ok to hunt.
    Find a few nice older houses and ring the doorbell and ask..
    You will have much better chance of finding good stuff..
    Send me a pm when your in the area and I just might have an older house lined up...
    I'm going to Iowa in the middle of May, for a couple days, and I will be doing some doorbell ringing out there myself. ( 1850's to 1920's houses)
    I have permission to do an 1876 School House already lined up out there.. But I still want to do the older houses.
    Try that route..

    GOTTA LOVE THIS HOBBY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Happy Hunting from Des Plaines IL ( D P Bob )

    Parks are good, old houses are the best.
