They come together at Irving Pk (RTE 19) Rd. 90 is one way to go. 294 would be another way. That is West of 90 though.

There will be a group of us meeting at the Ryan road exit on I94, which is the south corner of the milwaukee area.

There was an attempt to plan this last year but it fell through and it turned out to be just me and a couple of my friends.

Anyone that is interested in meeting up with us, let me know.

Also, last year we camped out at a place that was about 2 miles away from Thirdgen Fest(pretty much right down the street.) Worked out pretty good. If anyone wants some info on it let me know.

DynoDan,

If I remember right it took us about 1.5 hrs last year, and we missed a turn and ended up a few miles into Indiana(result of driver, and navigator talking with the people in the backseat and not paying attention to signs, lol) Unless traffic is bad its only really an hour drive, maybe a little more if you stop for gas or something.


Carlover,

If you and your friends want to camp let me know, if you get some money to me I will just reserve the site for you. As it is, I think I am going to be reserving at least 2 sites already.


I was kind of thinking, if the interest level picks up that we could get all the milwaukee people together some day and make some plans or something.

Im interesting in hooking up with u guys if i could. I wouldnt mind finding someone to follow! hehe, the biggest area I drive in is Madison. I went to chicago a coupla weeks ago, but i was just in the 'burbs, and that scared the excrement outta me. So, if you guys tell me where u are meeting (as in give me SIMPLE directions... lol, I dont wanna get lost.. i've only ventured down into IL a coupe of times in my short life), I would be more than happy to drive a little out of my way to have someone i could follow!

Rabbitt, and Everyone else

We are meeting At the McDonalds on the corner of Ryan Road and 13th street. The easiest way to get there is take I94 and get off on the Ryan road exit (exit 322) 13th street is the first set of lights east of I94 when you get off. The McDonalds is on the Northwest corner, cant miss the golden arches. They have a larger lot for semi's and stuff, we will be meeting in there. For sure you will see my Black/gold Iroc, a Black 01 WS6 Trans Am, and a Blue chevy truck pulling a big old camper. We are meeting at 6:30ish and leaving promptly at 7:00 no matter what so try and be there early gassed up and ready to go so you dont get left behind.

Ok just so it every one gets it McDonalds on Ryan Road and 13th Street at 6:30 pm on Friday night.

If you want to camp, let me know and I will get you a site reserved at the place we are going, I am trying to do that this week but it is hard to get ahold of the place.

If anyone has any questions or anything PM me.

Kevin

Is any one planning on leaving Saturday morning? I'm driving down from Northern Minnesota and plan on passing through Wisconsin in the early AM. I hope to meet up with anybody planning a Saturday drive down to Crete.

Thanks,
Colin

I am pretty sure I will be attending.
I'm in libertyville and will try and link up with whoever is heading south on 94 on Sat late morning. If not I will be leaving from another party in Villa Park in the mid afternoon.

Anybody need a perfect dash pad? Hate to part with it, but could use the dough this weekend. $100

Yep.

I'll be leaving from Libertyville Saturday in the late AM. Hopefully my buddy doesn't bail on me, I'd be too shy to go by myself

Milwaukee

I'll be driviing down from Milwaukee in the am. I'm actually starting my drive from Cuyuna, Minnesota in about 40 min. I'm hitting Milwaukee to pick up a passenger and driving down from there in the am...I'm not sure what time. My cell Number is 218-330-7919 if you wanna try to meet up near Chicago...I'll be driving through the night so a call at anytime would be cool.
Peace

Colin
