Comment: Also along the Stage Coach Trail on the west side of Lena, Il is another wind farm that cuts a destructive path through a very scenic top of the crest type road.

Comment: If you enjoy this ride, please help us keep it nice.There is a 13,000 head factory farm and its 70 acres of manure holding lagoons proposed to be built just West of Stage Coach Trail near Nora,Illinois.The stench and flies with travel for miles. Lets keep this the great ride that it has been for many years. We don't want to have to start riding around with gas masks on....do we? Just go to STOPTHEMEGADAIRY ORG and call or email the Governor and IDOA with the links provided.Thanks!
