Hey, OSUman--just another BYCer who's jumped to Backyard herds. We live SSE of Urbana, IL, still in Champaign County, barely. Check us out on GOOGLE maps--here's my address:
106 john st., longview, IL 61852
We're the middle property on the left hand side of the street. They took these pics about a year ago, when I had not too much vegetation and still had ruts from my Feb., 2008 fencing job. Kinda looks like a war zone!
