This
year we were certainly roughing it
in
three air conditioned motor homes.
Perhaps
one of two statements apply:
a)
We're getting older.
b
We're getting better.
Personally
I'm opting for the latter!
Fortunately
we were able to set-up
and
take-down under dry conditions.
It
was the in between all day Saturday
and
Saturday evening in a constant
downpour
of rain that made us
thankful
to be already set up in dry
self
contained motor homes...
This
Field Day was a very good time indeed!
Probably
one of our best overall
scores
in recent years...

Isn't the country beautiful out here in Kankakee
County?
Yes places like this still exist in Illinois.
Unfortunately this may be our last year
at this wonderful Field Day site...
This is the place known to local hams as "Smith
Hill".
Note: This aerial shot shows
the use of safety tape
around the perimeter of the
tower guys.
(Thanks once again as last year
to Taylor-Brown RV Center
in Bourbonnais for allowing us to
borrow the 40 foot motor home.)
