First stop Olney Illinois

[killerfishthensum1]

How the Hell I get here???! Subwoofers to this?

[alecneil21]

Yeah the at&t here is only edge unless you have wifi

[alecneil21]

Ahhh this town isn't good at all

[MrMickeybitzko]

I visited Olney last week and managed to find one white squirrel amidst a park full of regular ones. It was worth it, though -- the little bugger looked like a ghost and enjoyed posing for pictures. My advice is: be patient and a representative of this strange breed will appear...

[suburbanryder]

@MrMickeybitzko True, I asked a lot of people and they said there were white squirrels around. Wish I had an extra day in Olney to look around more.

[mydreamquest]

Really, the AT&T cell signal's bad? That's too bad.

[suburbanryder]

@mydreamquest I have Verizon now so it will be much better in Olney and elsewhere.

AT&T is great around the Chicago area but traveling not so much.

[BranAnn9010]

if you have french fries near the playground area squirrels will flock by the 100s!

[bballercab94]

They are everywhere... I used to see 3-5 a day when i road the bus to school

[jerseygirl523]

I see them more in town than i do at the park

[Googlieenis]

I usually see about three or four of them every time I head to the park. They're generally around the playground area.

[Googlieenis]

I see at least three or four every time I head to the park. You generally see them around the playground area.

[dreamerein]

I've been living here 9 years....I've only seen 3 of them.

[mattdadragan]

the white squirrels pretty much moved to Flora

[suburbanryder]

@mattdadragan Thanks for the tip.

[spanky407]

Hey man, you should definitely come back, and message me on here when you do.. I know plenty of places where there are the famous little critters..

We also have a few bald eagles as well..

[suburbanryder]

@spanky407 Thanks I may do that. I will be coming by Olney around June 30 or July 1 this year on my way back home from a trip.

[dwpropes]

more white squirrels in flora illinois than in Olney now maybe they wanted to get out of that God forsakin town too

[suburbanryder]

Or maybe the foods better in flora... LOL

[brucebrown50]

olney is also home of mr. brian james o'neill...you should search youtube for that name and watch the first video that comes up...he's almost always easier to find in olney than a white squirrel

[suburbanryder]

I watched the video, now that was hilarious.

[myklj999]

Dude...you were in the wrong section of the park or something...the squirrels hang out in the UPPER section where the playground is...I damn near couldn't recognize where the hell you were at, and I've lived here 50 years!!!! lol

[suburbanryder]

I guess so.

Funny thing is I asked a local and they told me the section I was at there were some there.

Oh well.....

[49bluespacefish]

No white squirrel, no cell service, WTH. LOL ! Hey thanks for the sub, I apriciate it, and it look s like you have a pretty cool bike,only I can't see what kind it is. Do have a close up vid of your bike. Take care ,

[suburbanryder]

go to theSmyrnaCowboy page and scroll down to the vid... Meet Up with Suburban Rider Part Two

He shows a pretty good view of my bike. It's a 2005 Triumph America.

[SpaceAceTX]

How weird, I grew up in Olney. Going to the park as a kid they were everywhere, so tame they would come on the picnic tables and eat french fries out of you hand or even get inside you car to get one.

[suburbanryder]

Might have been I just picked an unusual time when they weren't around.

I will likely be back again some day.

[LARC0]

I have never seen White squirrel, that would be kinda cool to see. :)

[suburbanryder]

The lady at Subway said there are lots at the park. They must have been hiding. Maybe next time I will see them.

[drumplayinfool1]

i live in olney lol, i see more whites than grays. i got one in my backyard i feed bread to everday named snowball. and if u go to micky d's and get french fries and go to the park they'll eat out of your hand. just dont get caught lol

[suburbanryder]

Well maybe when I will go back again I will bring their favorite treat and then they will come out. LOL

[drumplayinfool1]

for sure, and you can see more if u go by like where the playground area or w/e is in the park because there's more trees around there for them to mess in.

[xpunkxchickx05x]

hmmm...

lolz they r everywhere!!! hah!

come 2 my backyard we have 3 livin in 1 tree. lolol

you didnt look hadr enough!!! theyre everywhere.

[suburbanryder]

I bet they were hiding from me. Being a stranger and all. LOL

[ironjoker420]

so they where not white, just old. ;op

keep on keepin on brotha!!! ;op

[suburbanryder]

Will do my friend.

[1954shadow]

Maybe if you had put out some Fisher's Nuts.

[suburbanryder]

Glo would get them first.

[IndyRider15]

that would of been cool to see white squirrels. We have black squirrels where i live right now and i hadn't seen them before till i moved here.

[suburbanryder]

That would be cool to see a black squirrel.

Where I live in Illinois we have lots of gray and red squirrels.

[IndyRider15]

red squirrels huh? that's interesting. Never thought there would be red squirrels.

[Synistr1]

Plenty of black squirrels in the CB/Omaha metro. I swear they live to tease my dog every morning.

[motochron]

ahh the elusive great white squirrel, sounds like a Discovery Channel program. :)

[suburbanryder]

If I go again and don't see them I am going to consider it to be a legend like Bigfoot. LOL

[invisiblemon]

I have seen black squirrels here.Totally black.Almost got a pic once.They climb trees and run like a squirrel.

[suburbanryder]

Now see if you bring a camera to where they are and they all hide on you.

Those white ones sure did on me.

[budlac]

I am glad she is riding well on her maiden voyage across the US! Man, that is some grade A packing haha. I bet the sleeping bag is helpful as a back rest.

Too bad you didn't see any white squirrels :P

[suburbanryder]

Between the comfy seat and the sleeping bag backrest I am having no posterior problems. LOL

[SydTheSkeptic]

Chuck, when I first got to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia (I'm leaving tomorrow after being here the entire summer), everyone was telling me how I'd see moose everywhere. It took me weeks before one of the locals took me into the mountains just to be sure I'd get a glimpse of one before I left.

So your white squirrel is basically my Canadian moose. ;o)

[suburbanryder]

.... and you made sure they didn't just glue horns to a cow, Right

:P

[suburbanryder]

Maybe the paint washed off the gray ones I saw. LOL

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

AT&T More bars, more places. My BUTT! I have the same problem sometimes. It's about time you got a haircut you long haired hippie! LOL Remember those days.

An memories, we shall enjoy them.

Take care and ride safe.

[suburbanryder]

Yeah my twice a year haircut.

We don't need no "stinkin" bars. LOL

Something was working there. I saw others using cell phones.

[Skazzious]

Its good to hear your in good spirits.

You said theres been no problems yet... are you expecting troubles with the bike at all or?

Looking forward to the next update.

Enjoy the ride and be well

[suburbanryder]

Well I have no experience with this bike long distance.

My Harley for 25 years just ran and never let me down on a trip. I hope this bike can live up to the tradition.

[Skazzious]

Good luck with that... From looking at it... well it looks pretty solid but then thats to be expected as you know your bike well and look after it seemingly and dont take offense... like its your baby :p *some people get really tetchy when I say stuff like that*

All the best with the build quality... Hopefully it runs as nice as it looks :D

[suburbanryder]

Don't ever worry my friend.

I am not someone that gets touchy about stuff at all. I enjoy good discussion even with disagreements. It keeps me learning.

[LoneWolfRsiX08]

They must of known you were on your way lol

Keep it up and stay safe bro...

[suburbanryder]

I kind of wonder is this one of those "jokes" the locals pull on us tourists. LOL

[LoneWolfRsiX08]

Ya or they didnt tell you about the white squirrals mating with the black ones, which made them gray :) lol haha! oh god I need a break from YT

[suburbanryder]

I could not ask for better weather so far. I hope it's great at Deals Gap.

[KeukaRyder]

Looks like a nice little park.

It's always nice to travel on a week day in the summer. Not as much commuter traffic and parks are not crowded.

I hope you enjoyed what looked like a nice summer day.

[suburbanryder]

When I jumped off the little bit of four lane the roads were almost deserted. Made for great relaxing riding in the midwest.

[KeukaRyder]

I forgot to tell you that where I live we have gray, red and black squirrels. The red ones are really agressive! THey come around in the spring but sort of fade away during summer. I'll try to get a pix.
