Hi Short Digger,,,I live near the city of Alton, IL. Where do you live?...HH Lon
 
Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you're having a blast with your MXT and the Big Foot. They both compliment each other. Alton is a fun town. Fast Eddies is a great place to have a bite to eat and a cold brew. It's a very old town also. Happy hunting from Eureka, IL.
 
Wow! All this talk about southern IL makes me long for the area where I grew up: west (across the river) of Chester IL and Ste. Genevieve MO. I remember so many old abandoned homesteads littering "them thar hills" as a youth. How I would like to go MD'ing there now!!

If anyone ever has a desire to search Ste. Genevieve County, I know a few great potential spots.....and the greatest arrowhead collecting spot in the world!! :thumbup:

How far are you from Larwenceville?

There is a place called Birds at the intersection of 10 and Hwy 1 just
a few miles north of Larwrenceville.

I found Birds listed at www.ghosttowns.com as a ghost town. Actually it still has about 30 people still living there.

I went down there to visit last week.

In 1997 Birds was devestated by a flood. FEMA bought out the damaged old houses and tore them down. A few old buildings remain. There are two churches there and we're welcome to MD anywhere there are open spaces where a house once stood.

The Mayor there is Norman Butcher and old man of 80 years. He told me I could MD there as much as I wanted but its way to far for me to go.

If you have some time some weekend, travel on over and check it out.

Regards
Robert
