Asian Carp

We finally found the Asian Carp and it was wild. It was hard to get a good picture. There is another looper boat that one jumped on, and they hit the side of the boat a lot. They are nasty lookin.............................................


Sunday 8/22 we got to Joliet IL, and stayed on the free wall. We didn't realize till later that this might not have been a good stay. There were people that sleep out on a blanket all night. Hey but it was free......................









Leaving Chicago


We had to cross the electrical barrier to keep the Asian carp out of the Great Lakes.

I
I think this bird is looking for a Asian carp.

Leaving Chicago

We went through downtown Chicago when we left, early in the morning on Sunday and it was awesome. Walker took down the radar so we could go through downtown.

We took a boat tour at night and it was awesome.






Night time in Chicago............
































The Bean


This was the neatest thing, its call the bean, and it looks like it is made of chrome. The reflections of the city in the back ground was neat. It was in Millennium Park and it was a very big park. We walked there to catch the tour bus every day. The bus took you from 4 different areas North South East and West.





Went to the Museum of Science Industry, and had to take the south tour bus. We had to go by Obama's home, favorite deli, where he get his hair cut.................................I didn't see any one taking pictures.


Chicago

The tour bus took us to Oprah's homes and by the studio, and her store. They say she calls Chicago her home, but is not there very much.
