Lori! Weather in this area now? It's cold, snowing a little, the snow is blowing a lot, making driving interesting, the roads are slick and snow covered in some places. I know what you mean about wanting to see your ancestor's land. Just to walk where they walked. I live in Minooka - just down the road from Channahon and I'm Local History Curator for the Minooka/Channahon area of the Three Rivers Public Library - what would you like to know about it?
