Hey, welcome aboard.

I live a bit SW of Gurnee Mills and visit there - usually Bass Pro Shop - everytime I get a chance.

Just got back from a weekend of camping at Fish Lake Beach campground near Rts 12 & 120. A bit too crowded for me, but the kids enjoyed it. I got to play with firestarting skills a bit. Though the most popular firestarter is the the cotton/vaseline type, I still like the old egg carton/wax starters, though they cetainly wouldn't take a spark at all.
