: Thought I should mention, if you're building a canoe/kayak (or any other
: boat) in Illinois it now has to be inspected by the conservation police
: before you can license it. Downside is once contacted they never call
: back, real nice .

And what are their definitions of a suitable boat?

: New idiot rule. It's about time to move to a normal state.

I grew up in Illinois (my first yak still has the Illinois sticker on it) and have lived in three states since then. Illinois is more normal than most places I've been. And I miss Clinton Lake and never got to explore all lakes in Southern Illinois
