Fishing Destinations
Testy Taneycomo
As luck would have it, Vickie and I headed out for our Missouri vacation on the hottest day of the year….in fact, it might well have been one of the hottest June days ever recorded; either way it is a long way across Illinois when the temperature exceeds 100 degrees! I spent as much time […]
