Is it possible to get a boat in the Big Basin area?
Not yet, but it won't be long. The main DesPlaines was open, but everything in the actual basin was solid except the Northernmost 30 feet on the North shore. It looked about the same today as I was crossing the steel bridge on my way to the Deer Classic show in Bloomington.
Let me know if you see it open up. I want to get the Bobber out there.
