Cycle Life Challenge Ride #7 Bean Creek Road to Collison Illinois
Loading up for the drive to Potomac, Illinois Picking up Dwight who planned the itinerary Unloaded near Potomac ready to go We all had our masks on in the truck, and maintained social distancing as we rode Bean Creek Road Lots of trees, a welcome relief from constant corn and bean fields Drop off to the right to Middle Fork of the Vermilion River Stream valleys are much deeper here closer to the local base level of the Vermilion River A Picker's Dream or Nightmare? Patriotic Hoarder We were missing seeing corn and beans :) Barriers around new trees to prevent deer from eating the bark On the eastern edge of the Middle Fork Fish and Wildlife Area Sharing the road At the end of a track at the Middle Fork River Much like a mountain bike trail and very steep Dwight and Dave Vine climbing up the tree trunk Some Cross-Training was required to get back up and out to the township road Small Picnic area at Kinney's ford \ Well, 200 dollars would be too
