Another in Crystal Lake...I'd be up for it, but the vette is currently on the DL. I might be motivated by having a reason to get my butt moving.

I have a friend with a 61 and his wife has a 68 that would probably be interested in a Starved rock run
As well as a friend with 2 LT1`s that might make it??

Last weekend of May is great. I'm in the Quad Cities until the begining of June. Then I'm moving down to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Let's lock in when and where.

The cabin that we stayed in was around 120.00 for the night,and it wasn't all that.The rooms are okay.The pool,hot tub,and sauna are nice,and the park is very beautiful!
I will probably bring a tent,and crash somewhere right around there.There's a Comfort Inn just a few miles from there on 39,and they are around 70.00 a night w/cable,and a pool.Oh....kick azz piiiiiilleeeeers too.....!
