Beaches

[Mayo South Elgin]

How about a group beach hunt before the beaches "officially" open?
Chicago beaches are always open but there are beaches in Evanston and Wilmette which are normally Pay-to-get-in kind of beaches. They start the pay season in May from what I have seen on the Evanston and the Wilmette web sites. It might be fun to hunt for some north shore bling. The wealthy residents probably don't bring their expensive jewelry to the beach but the college students do!

On the other hand, we gotta hit the woods before they get overgrown, so maybe this can wait.

Beaches sound good and I think you're correct about the woods. . . they're perfect now.

I'm in for a hunt anytime up here, I go to school right on the lake near Evanston. Hit the beaches a couple times this week, nothin' but a bunch of clad and a stainless steel ring. What's nice is you can find old parks along the beach if you aren't having any luck in the sand but they are pretty trashy. Last beach park I went to for an hour or so, pulled 3 wheaties.

So it's supposed to be freezing tomorrow and snow I guess?? But I'd be up for a hunt maybe tomorrow or sometime sunday if the weather isn't toooo bad. I found an old beach park today that looked promising, not too far north, near Loyola. Hit it for about an hour today but wasn't dressed well enough for the weather. Last few beaches/beach parks I hit I came out with about 10 bucks in clad and 7 wheaties.

With the high temps only in the 30s this weekend I'm going to opt out of any plans. Not sure I even want to get NEAR water with that. Maybe next?

Yea true, wind can be brutal near the lake, I'm might brave it for a couple hours, I'll let you guys know it goes if I do, but definitely next weekend if the weather permits
