I just added it to my list of destinations the other day. It's a good 3/4 day drive, but would be so much fun. However, I'm not the type to rent a blind and go with a firm agenda. I prefer to head out and do my own exploring.

BTW Racedraper, have you ever checked this out? http://www.fws.gov/midwest/SquawCreek/ It's not far from you. I've been down there the last 2 years and had a great time. I've gone at the end of Nov. when the snow geese are their by the tens of thousands and the eagles have followed.
