June 3 - 5 Who is going? Last year Larry's show was the same weekend as effingham. Some of us went to larrys, some to effingham. We have the same scheduling conflict this year. I recommend we all go together to one place. Since we as a club have more history going to effingham I am suggesting we go there. Thoughts? Comments? Someone willing to coordinate this? Typically involves scheduling the drive route and times and contacting the hotel for possible discounts/group rates. OK, here are the details as I know them: We will meet here at 9am: www.mapquest.com/maps?name=Flying+J+Travel+Plaza&city=Benton+Harbor&state=MI&address=1860+E+Napier+Ave&zipcode=49022&country=US&latitude=42.090655&longitude=-86.412639&geocode=ADDRESS&id=6549374
We will follow this basic route: We leave Friday morning and meet up with everyone in Benton Harbor then take 94 to 65 south and cut over to 57 south on 10 and head into Effingham. Part of this route is 2 lane backroads and we never do over 60-65 on the interstates.
Please post so we know who we are waiting for at the Benton Harbor truck stop. So far we are meeting the following there: 1.) Bren and Marie 2.) John Hanson 3.) Splash buggy with Mama and Papa Splash 4.) Dustin 5.) Rudy and Beth 6.) AJ 7.) Dan and Cassie 8.) Aki Let us know who else so we can add you to the list. Let me know if any corrections needs to be made to any of the above.

So far Wifey and I are planning on going to Effingham and taking the VW Bus. We are renting a Hotel room somewhere and unfortunately not sleeping in the Bus. We are also planning on leaving our dog with my Grandparents in Indiana. We are also thinking of leaving from Indiana on Friday and catching up with everyone on the road but currently unsure at this time.
If anyone wants a ride to Effingham my Bus currently has room and seat belts for 3 more people.

I want to go but I have a fear of commitment and a Bug that is not fully assembled yet.

We're going as usual, My mom typically sets up the hotel and we have a route down that works pretty good.

Beth and I are planning on going, but might be invisibly motivated (GMC).

The majority of the HW group from Chicago is planning at staying at the Comfort Suites (around $60/night) but close-by is also the Super 8, at around $40 and HoJos, also around $40 per night.)
If nothing else, we should set up the clubs next to each other at the show and shovel the BS double thick. lol
Hope to see you all there.

I want to go but I have a fear of commitment and a Bug that is not fully assembled yet. Ed - tackle the fear of commitment one step at a time. First get the 67 done by memorial day. Once that commitment is tackled, going to the show will be easy! ;D Unfortunately, I can't commit either. If I'm not playing softball that weekend, I'll go to Funfest. Call me when you need a hand. It sounds like Mr. Gatch has volunteered to help also.

We always stay at the Super 8 it is absolutely the best location. Walking distance to wal-mart, a ton of good restaurants, liquor stores(if your into that) and you don't have to get on the main road to head to the show. Would be sweet to get the Harsh Winters guys over there too.
