BMW R1200GS Motorcycle camping Trip Apple River Canyon SP Illinois Fly Fishing
How many likes can we get on this one guys??
My family and I decided to take a motorcycle camping trip up to Apple River Canyon Park in Illinois. While the fishing wasn't great, the scenery was fantastic and we couldn't ask for better camping weather.
My main goal was to catch a small mouth bass on a fly rod. Well, I did it. Took me a while to weed through all the small trout but at the end of the trip, I caught the fish I was looking for. My first one ever! Wasn't a monster by any means but man did it put up a fight!

June 2019
We were supposed to spend all week in Branson (a few days in one resort then a few days in another.) But unfortunately the first resort had a lot of storm damage. Instead of counting it as a loss and just doing a few days of vacation, Chris's parents decided to go to Timber Creek Resort. His entire family spent many a vacation there when Chris and his siblings and cousins were kids. TCR isn't too far of a drive from where everyone lives so it was perfect to take what we didn't need for Branson, drop it off at home and head out when it was time for that.
All those people in the last scene was almost half of the people we were on vacation with. That group included Chris's uncle, two cousins, nephew, brother and sister. Thankfully it was only us and a few other small families there that week. ????

Catching Rainbow Trout at Ferne Clyffe State Park, Illinois
April 14, 2018: I set out to catch my first rainbow trout.
Like what you see? Please take a moment to subscribe. Thank You!
I'll be honest. I've never had any desire to catch a rainbow trout. They look small in most of the pictures I've seen, and I just couldn't imagine they would put up much of a fight. I was WRONG!!! After catching a few rainbow trout, I can see why folks target them so regularly.
It took a lot of patience and numerous lure changes before I was able to find a working pattern. One I did, though, the bite was on!
Let me know what you think in the comments section. Thanks & Have a Great Day!!!

The fun of outdoor adventure in Illinois at Starved Rock State Park
Starved Rock State Park is located near Utica in Illinois. It hosts more visitors than 10 of the 59 National Parks in the United States. And there is a good reason why!. Whether you enjoy hiking along the nature trails or viewing the many spectacular overlooks along the Illinois River, recreational opportunities abound. From picnicking to fishing to boating, from horseback riding to camping to enjoying winter sports, there’s so much to do that you’ll come back again and again. The backdrop for your activities are 18 canyons formed by glacial melt water and stream erosion. They slice dramatically through tree-covered, sandstone bluffs for four miles at Starved Rock State Park, which is located along the south side of the Illinois River, one mile south of Utica and midway between the cities of LaSalle-Peru and Ottawa.
The park is best known for its fascinating rock formations, primarily St. Peter sandstone, laid down in a huge shallow inland sea more than 425 million years ago and later brought to the surface. While the areas along the river and its tributaries still are predominantly forested, much of the area is a flat, gently rolling plain. The upland prairies were created during an intensive warming period several thousand years after the melting of the glaciers. The Illinois River Valley in the Starved Rock area is a major contrast to the flatland. The valley was formed by a series of floods as glacial melt water broke through moraines, sending torrents of water surging across the land and deeply eroding the sandstone and other sedimentary rocks.
During early spring, when the end of winter thaw is occurring and rains are frequent, sparkling waterfalls are found at the heads of all 18 canyons, and vertical walls of moss-covered stone create a setting of natural geologic beauty uncommon in Illinois. Some of the longer-lasting waterfalls are found in French, LaSalle and St. Louis canyons. Waterfalls, rivers and streams can undercut a cliff, creating overhangs in the sandstone, like Council Overhang at the east end of the park. Other sights can be seen from the bluffs themselves, which provide vantage points for enjoying spectacular vistas. The porous sandstone bluffs allow water to soak quickly through, only to collect in greater quantities on the slopes below. The resulting lush vegetation supports an abundant wildlife and bird population, including woodchucks, moles, vireos and catbirds. Wood ducks that nest in hollow trees occasionally can be seen paddling along the river’s edge. Evidence of beavers and muskrats can be seen as you walk along the River Trail.
Black oak, red cedar and white oak, as well as white pine and white cedar, grow on the drier, sandy bluff tops. Yellow bellied sapsuckers drill parallel rows of small holes on cedar trees and return to feed on sap and small insects. Service berry and northern honeysuckle–shrubs that prefer a well-drained area–attract scarlet tangers and cedar waxwings.
Moraine Hills State Park
There’s music in the sighing of a reed;
There’s music in the gushing of a rill;
There’s music in all things, if men had ears.

Staying Safe In Campgrounds and While Boondocking
:Here are some of the things we think about and do while traveling and camping. The news we are constantly bombarded with is enough to send us all to the basement with a ton of survival food, but is it actually any worse while traveling in our RV? That depends on you and how you decide to camp. Are you planning on staying at RV parks with lots of other rigs? Or are you going to stay in National Forest or BLM campgrounds? What about camping in remote areas by yourself? That's the focus of this video. Bloopers at the end!
