Quote: Haven't had a chance to scout a route down to Savanna yet. Big Texas (Denny) is going to help with mapping out a couple of routes. ( i might need a brake on my propensity to hit every backroad in the county ) I'll try to map out a direct route, and the most scenic one we can find to give everybody options. For the Sat. ride anybody that wants to go a little further north could go up to Lansing IA. and cross over into WI. before heading back south. They have a bigger taller steel grate bridge than the one at Savanna IL. This would add 50 miles to the round trip. I talked to a couple of friends that have a resturaunt in Galena, if a group wants to eat there, they will seat everyone together in the back room. The menu is posted at www.charobrians.com. For those "Field of Dreams " fans part of the movie was shot in this building,
Sounds good Gary. Maybe we should book that back room at your friend's restaurant for friday evening. I'm thinking the ride south on friday will be a bit shorter than the sat. ride, and we will want somewhere to go for dinner.
As far as going on up to Lansing on the sat. ride, that sounds good to me, but I'll leave it up to the group, I don't know how many people want to add 50 miles onto the trip. This will bring it to almost 200 miles. CHIME IN ON THIS GUYS!
