While it looks good for us to open up this weekend, it will still not be business as usual. So this Facebook Live thing will live on a bit longer. Speaking of which, we have one coming up this Thursday from 7 - 8 PM about kayak camping the Kickapoo River. This is a great area, and at 3.5 hours or so from Rockford, close enough to warrant the drive for a couple days of adventure. To join us simply visit our facebook page and scroll down to the "Posts". To learn more about what will be discussed, please visit https://bit.ly/3fz8j1A.#GearUpHeadOut #KayakCamping #KickapooRiver #GetOutside

There are people that paid the ultimate price to protect our way of life and provide for our freedom. On this day and every day, we honor their sacrifice. I cannot even imagine the horrors of war, and because of them and the soldiers that return, I do not have to. Thank you.The soldiers that come home sometimes face obstacles reintegrating into normal day to day life. There are a lot of people and organizations dedicated to helping this transition. We are supporting one of them, Heroes on the Water, by holding a kayak giveaway with all ticket proceeds donated to help them in their mission to use the outdoors to provide therapeutic programs for veterans, active duty military, first responders, and their families. For more info or to purchase a ticket, please visit https://bit.ly/2LnvYV9. Thank you for your consideration.#GearUpHelpOut #NeverForget #ThankYou #Courage

An interesting take on the human population from our "Landlord"! So weird seeing iconic and populous destinations void of people.#GearUpHeadOut #EveryDayisEarthDay #LeaveNoTrace #GetOutsidehttps://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=926269864497966
