This section of the DPR flows through many forest preserves - and past many "outfalls" responsible for much of the river's flow and pollution. We will label outfalls with signs identifying their impact to the river, in anticipation of VIP's voyaging the river the following weekend. Expect to see interesting wildlife. This trip will be more completely planned when members sign up.
