if anyone is planning on heading towards IL, or BDSmiley as i know your from only a couple hours north, there is a CITO event coming up on July 3rd to clean up a forest preserve that is treated like the local dump. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=bc35fea7-6a62-4475-91d0-7161656d4275

And while you're in the area, you could go log my Lyrical Location #2 - City of New Orleans (TCAR4) virtual cache, just 1.4 miles northwest.
