other dog Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 There's more to Illinois than cornfields Indeed there is-this is a beautiful country we live in. And those are nice cornfields too. I was talking to my Ma on the phone and told her I was in Illinois going by a corn field about 6 miles long, and she told me to "take lots of pictures", so I did. You don't see corn like that around here!By the way, where was the picture with Dozer taken? Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

You don't see corn like that around here!By the way, where was the picture with Dozer taken?That's taken next to my driveway...the view to the back of the house. You can see the edge of the wildflower patch next to Dozer....the truck parks between that and the house. The white spec you see on the hill top in the background just right of center is the Bald Knob Cross in Alto Pass.

I was looking at Alto Pass on Google Earth and I never knew there was that kind of area in Illinois. There's a Skyline Drive through the mountains of Virginia too. I could probably see where you live but didn't have enough info to pinpoint the location. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Last year it was corn...prolly will be corn again next year too....butcha can't tell from the picture 'cuz it's winter time and there's snow on the ground. No, I couldn't tell-in fact I thought it was a frozen lake until I saw a few plants of some sort sticking through the snow. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Gambi80 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Them assholes love trucks; And not like we do.RobThe assbag "police quief" (this guy was a real phucker) of LeRoy gave me and a co-worker a disobeying a traffic control device ticket for making a left turn on a no left turn for trucks sign because we were lost (and hungry)...turning around via a McDonalds parking lot. A couple years later, on the way home from the indoor tractor pull at Gordyville, I stopped at the Shell in LeRoy to gas up...15 minutes later, going from I-74/55 to 39, my pickup died on me...fuel pump quit and I went home on the hook.
