[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Salkns,

thanks for posting.

Had not been through your area in a while. Came
through last Fall and the town sure is growing, lots
of changes.

Was checking out some of the mounds, Briscoe, Higginbotham
Woods; some say there is a 40 foot long prehistoric serpent
mound on the east bank of The Des Plaines River, somewhere
in your area.

Of course I'm always looking for some trace of the town of
Shermanville, which was not far from your place.

Again, thanks for posting the CW site.

have a good un.........
