alright, I work every saturday 8 am to 4 pm so I'm not up for saturday meets unless they are really local, sundasy are good for me but I have a wedding in early september I have to check on the date, either the 1st or the 8th, either way I won't commit ahead of time, gotta see how things lay out once its closer.

Okay, scratch Saturday September 1 and make it Sunday September 2.

I will cruise down to Starved Rock one day after work this week and scope out a good meet up spot.

The wedding is on the 8th, there is a good chance me and the girlfriend will be out there, we've been talking about going out there for a while now and going for a hike and taking some pictures and this sounds like a good reason to go. We will mostly be there but not just for the meet, we'll come to the meet for a while and do our own thing for a while. Kill 2 birds with one stone

Beware: its ALWAYS packed on the weekends and we will only have like 4 or 5 cars show up total thats how it usually goes. 20 say yes, 5 show up

Nevermind on where Utica is,it's straight south of Rockford, yes I'll be there. As long as some douche bag doesn't decide to punch me while I'm not looking at him again. jk. I've been trying to meet up with some of you guys for a while, looks like I've finally got a chance.

Sounds good Ryan! Hope to see you two there.

Yeah, I know it's usually packed on the weekends, this is why I have been thinking about another park not too far from Starved Rock that we could go to...

Yep. You can follow 39 south and then get off on 80 east and follow that for a couple miles and you will see the exit for Utica. Hope you can make it.

After doing some thinking, I have decided people (*cough* Kurt *cough*) will more than likely be too easily lost and confused trying to find the right meeting place in Starved Rock. I think it would be better if we just meet up at this big gas station that is right off of I 80 and then head to Shabbona Park (little park out in the middle of nowhere) from there. There is a Subway and McDonald's with this gas station, so once everyone arrives we could grab some food and head to the park from there. This park is small and quiet and will give us plenty of great photo ops. Later in the day we could always head back to Peru or Ottawa to cruise and hang out.

tentative plans:
Sunday September 2 @ 12:00 p.m.
Loves Travel Stop
I 80 - Exit 81
Utica, Illinois


Let me know what opinions are on this idea...

Well now thats its closer sorry to say I will not being making it. I never really paid attention enough to notice this is on labor day weekend, I'll be up in the middle of Wisconsin from saturday till monday. Also I know Skunk wont be making it due to his car being down and Vince still has his car in the body shop.

No worries guys . My car is not meet-worthy yet and I too failed to realize it was Labor Day weekend, so I was actually going to post that we should plan it for some other time .
