The wife and I had planned on driving up Saturday night. Now my dad's water line, from the meter to the house, has sprung a leak, so guess what I will be doing Saturday? So it looks like we won't be able to attend this GTG. There is a slight possibilty I can get it done in 1 day, but if we're not there by 11 am, do not wait on us. Always something going on.

Hey I might not be able to make it seeing as I just made it home and the alarm on my car is still acting up, I will very much try to make it but I can make no gaurantees. Oh and just a note, a friend of mine said that you can't actually hang out by the cars in the parking lot in the streets of woodfield, apparently they want you inside a store or something like that.

Were not hanging out by the cars there for long. Once we all arrive we will go in for a bit and then back to the cars for a few mile drive east to Busse Woods for some pics and to discuss a cruise.
I had suggested this one:

Here is a link(DeKalb Co) to a possible country cruise route (43 miles west on Rte 72) from Starbucks
and we could save our appetites for lunch at the
Varsity Pub in Kingston. (DeKalb county)
Just a suggestion recommended by Uncle Al

So far it sounds like Chicago land had a gooooood time. The rest of us have been chewing on each other all day. So break the rythm and put up some more posts.


And Pics!
