Hmmm...well, I know we have more C&Gers in the area.... Anyway, I'm beginning to like the informal gathering more and more...like you, dave. I'll try to post up some dates soon ... and maybe even narrow down the list of potential places ... and go from there....

I can imagine. Around here, if you're lucky to maneuver around one pothole, you're likely to hit a different on in the process .

Ah, sorry, Camino ... I didn't realize how big your barn is ... or that you had tried it before. Sorry.... The garage where my older 4 MCs are stored just has one central heater, afaik. Phil has a mini-bathroom in it, too.

Holy crap ... they leave that early? My goodness. One another group/forum I'm on, a couple of the guys share weekly pics of the events with us. Those posts are two that I always take a few extra minutes to look through. The cars are just phenomenol. Have fun meeting up, guys. I always enjoy meeting members ... and was hoping more of the ones in the Chicago area would be interested in meeting....

Hey daves ... thanks for replying . OK ... between the various boards, 30 people have replied with preferences (as of late Sunday night when I checked the boards/groups). Thus, the "scorecard": When should a gathering be scheduled/planned? 05 = Early Spring/Late Fall 12 = Late Spring/Summer/Early Fall 13 = No Preference/Does Not Matter Do we meet with or without an established Cruise/Show? 06 = With an established Cruise/Show 10 = Outside of an established Cruise/Show 14 = No Preference/Does Not Matter I agree that late spring/summer/early fall is the best time. We don't want to be "too" early or "too" late, before cars come out or after they are put back into storage. The results also tend to agree with my thinking about meeting outside of an established cruise/show. Why? If we met within an established Cruise/Show, it may be harder to find each other and stick together. Whereas meeting "on our own", outside of an established Cruise/Show, will be easier to meet and greet each other ... and, of course, check out each others' rides. This in mind, I have a few ideas of places to meet, including some that were suggested by others. VOLO IL, Volo Auto Museum: http://www.voloautos.com FREEPORT/GALENA IL, several spots possible along SR 20 UTICA/LASALLE IL, home of JC Whitney: http://www.jcwhitney.com/Auto-Parts/10101.jcw MORRIS IL, truck stop/restaurants at I-80 exits ELGIN IL area, several forest preserve areas in the area [obviously, the easiest for me in terms of securing a spot AND being able to have more than one of my MCs in attendance] CARPENTERSVILLE IL, Raceway Woods, formerly Meadowdale International Raceways: http://meadowdaleraceway.homestead.com/ Comments? Thoughts? And, please, no "it should be here because it is closest to me" statements. Yes, I understand that we ALL want it "in our backyard" to make it easier for us to join the gathering. BUT, it can't be that way for everyone.... If you have not voiced your opinions yet, PLEASE DO SO...NOW is the TIME!!! One last thing ... I want it to be VERY CLEAR that this gathering/event would be OPEN to ALL ... and would include VARIOUS makes/models/years of vehicles. Yes, I'm a Monte Carlo-holic, but believe it or not, I appreciate all vehicles ... and, I'm betting that most people appreciate most vehicles as well.

Heh ... and that doesn't seem to take into consideration the tar and gravel that is put down on some of PA's roads. It never seems to fail ... each time we are back for the reunion in the Pittsburgh area, the roads around Dad's homeplace have been "treated". Makes for some dirty cars .

Oh my yes ... vastly different league. I hate Chicago's traffic, but can stand Des Moines ... even Nashville TN. Go figure. I agree with you, somewhat. Yes, Chicago drivers are aggressive ... they have to be to contend with the cab drivers. BUT ... some can be and are rather ignorant, too. We see it all the time when I have to go into Northwestern for my 6 month checkups.
