I can't make the caravan, we're leaving on Friday for Funfest.
Are you guys parking in the Forum parking area?
There is a post in the national events section for this and a link to print a sign.

I am trying to get to Champaign on Friday and will try to join you Saturday morning as you pass through on I-57.

Otherwise I will see you there as I would otherwise be coming up I-70 from the St. Louis area.

I'll keep you posted.

My wife and I are staying in Champaign that weekend, I would be interested in joining up with the caravan from there on down.

I could pm someone with my cell number if needed.
