*LOCATION*

*PLEASE NOTE*
SAME Forest Preserve, DIFFERENT SHELTER!

Since the number of potential people attending this event has increased to ~50, I have CHANGED the reservation from the 50-person-capacity Burnidge Shelter to the 75-person-capacity PAUL WOLFF SHELTER:
http://www.kaneforest.com/fp/map/BurnidgePaulWolff.pdf

The Paul Wolff Shelter is EASIER access ... direct from Big Timber Rd; Burnidge Shelter is nestled back in a way, from either Big Timber or Coombs Rds.


The Burnidge-Paul Wolff Forest Preserve at Big Timber and Coombs Rds is...
...NORTH of I-88, IL RT 64, IL RT 20
...SOUTH of I-90, IL RT 72
...EAST of I-39, IL RT 47
...WEST of Randall Rd, IL RT 31, IL RT 25
...ABOUT A 10-15-minute drive, SW from the I-90/Randall Rd interchange.
...ABOUT A 5-10-minute drive, N from IL RT 20


Elgin is about an hour (depending on traffic) NW of Chicago, along I-90 and IL RT 20.



*DATE*

Saturday, July 26, 2008



*TIME*

Starting ... ~noon
Ending ... ~dusk, when Forest Preserve closes [OR] later, if we attend a cruise night

Come for as short or as long a time as you want!!!



*COSTS*

Food (we have to eat anyway, right?) ... NO alcoholic beverages.

Gas (can't control this one, sorry)

Lodging (if needed)

ABSOLUTELY, 100% _NO_ REGISTRATION, ENTRY OR PARTICIPANT FEES!!!



*CRUISE NIGHT*

I've been considering some locations. Anyone have suggestions? I've thought about Beef Villa in S Elgin, but that parking lot would not be able to handle it even if a fourth of us went there. So, I'm open to suggestions, if people ARE interested in a cruise night.



*OVERNIGHT*

Anyone planning to stay overnight Friday or Saturday nights? If so, let me know ... I can check out local hotels/motels/camping areas....



*ATTENDEES*

ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

This IS a RAIN or SHINE gathering. If it rains, we will have a shelter, or we can go to a nearby restaurant....


I've listed people even if they are just THINKING about coming and/or have to see how their schedule is shaping up closer to the event.

Will YOU JOIN US???!!!

AWESOME, Wayne .

It does sound like a good turnout ... I just hope people actually DO come . Heh ... and, even with the 50 or so people planning on attending, that doesn't include many "regulars" that I see post from this area ... the same ones who always write about how cool it would be to get together. Well, now, no more "not going to happen" feelings .

 

I know it is a distance for some of you, but I think it will be worth it (not that I'm biased at all ... he he)....
