Fort Custer is a WWI training camp that is now a forest preserve. Remember from high school history class that WWI utilized trench warefare. Well, the trenches are still here at Fort Custer. But now they’re all overgrown and the trails weave in and out of them. It’s like riding a BMX track through the forest. It’s so fun.
This video is from November of 2004. I was riding with my friend Dennis. We met there again in July 2005 and I have more video of that trip coming soon.
Video has now been converted to Flash Video that should be more compatible to more viewers. The file is still pretty large though, but it will start playing when there is enough downloaded. Be patient.
