I am 25 miles west of Milwaukee. You are fortunate to live where you do. The reason I say this is that next year the KR Gathering is going to be very close to you in MT Vernon, Illinois. You will be able to get some real KR experience there. In case you are unfamiliar with the KR gathering, it is an annual event where we all gather for several days usually in September and talk KR and examine every detail of each KR that flies in.
