Recorded 8/14/15

Lake Forest, IL is my home away from home. Not only that is where I was born, but that is known as my "playground" for railfanning. I love railfanning there because of the variety I can see. From Metra, Amtrak, and then Canadian Pacific freight trains. I was there to end my memorable summer. I had a great time there and hopefully I will be back for more railfanning adventures.
