Dan Small takes a tour of a portion of the Illinois River near Havana,Illinois a small town south of Peoria, with Kevin Irons, a biologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey, and Dr. Greg Sass, who directs the Illinois River Biological Station. They were in search of the invasive silver Asian carp which are not only a physical hazard to recreational boaters, but they present an environmental problem as well. Debby Wolniak explores the caves at Ledgeview Nature Center with naturalist Ron Zahring. In this week's archival flashback segment from 1984, Dan and Tom Newbauer take their sons fishing on a pond in Waukesha County.

A tour of Ledge Park's 40 foot walls and caves with Team Northwoods Geocaching
Ledge park has some of the most significant exposed Niagara Escarpment in all of Wisconsin. This range runs almost 650 miles from here in Wisconsin, up through Door County into Ontario, and then over to New York at Niagara Falls. The Niagara Dolomite walls are erosion resistant and get as high as 40 feet. This area is located just east Horicon Marsh, North of Hwy 33 and west of West Bend. More information about Ledge Park will be available at teamnorthwoodsgeocaching.com shortly.
It was a really nice walk through the area and I wasn't going to have an introduction to this video but after I finished the video I thought if I am going to make my first introduction video; back at that tunnel with the broken off tree in the center would be a great spot. So I went for it and I hope you enjoy this video and the many more to come.
I also learned I need some better equipment for doing this.
