This group is designed to connect real estate investors that have a common interest in being active and adventuring. We meet monthly, usually the weekend after the West Suburban Building Owner's Association Meetup, and adventures include hiking, kayaking, biking, recreational sports, and more!
No formal discussion is scheduled but typically everybody who joins owns at least 1 property and we talk as we adventure, provide updates, help each other out, and mainly get out and do something we all enjoy.
All events are free to join and some require additional purchases or rentals for individuals. This event would require you to rent a kayak unless you bring your own
The 3,558-acre Ned Brown Preserve—popularly known as Busse Woods—is one of the largest and most diverse locations in the Forest Preserves. The site includes ancient upland forests, one of the largest fishing and boating waters in Cook County, nearly 13 miles of paved trail, an elk pasture and much more—making it one of the best-used natural areas in Illinois.
We'll plan to meet at 9AM at the
Busse Lake Boating Center
ENTRANCE
Rentals are available from 9 am to 5 pm on a first come, first served basis and we'll plan to meet there and rent a few kayaks. We'll kayak around for 1.5-2 hours ($20 per hour for rentals) or so then afterward we can go take a look at the Elk Pasture and see if we can find some elk around:
Busse Forest Elk Pasture
N Arlington Heights Rd, north of E Higgins Rd
Cook County, IL 60007
Since 1925, a small elk herd has inhabited a 17-acre enclosed pasture in Busse Woods. Originally, nine cows and one bull were delivered by train from Yellowstone National Park. The size of the herd has fluctuated over time and every three to four years new males are introduced to maintain genetic diversity.
