Happy New Year! It's been too long since I go out on a first Tuesday. Today, I decided to stay local and go to one of Romeoville's 2001s. Interestingly, this siren's location was not publicly known (in the siren community at least) until I found it in 2021. 4 years later, I figured it was time that this 2001 got some camera time. This one is hidden in the middle of a small neighborhood, so inevitably it was hard to find. It's a bit underpowered, and I heard a strange undertone coming from it towards the end of the test. But hey, it works, and it seems healthy for the most part. I'm a salty with the backlit shot, but this was the only place I could record from, and my camera didn't die in the cold, so it's not the end of the world. Thanks for watching!
