They need to exit on to Weber Rd turn right, take Weber to the first right, watch for Wendy's on the right. We'll get lined up and go around the block so we can catch the light to get onto Weber to get bck to I-55. We'll probably have to take it at about 55 mph when we get onto I-55 for a ways till everyone gets caught up.

Why you ask cause that person is going to be the contact person for lead in. If there is some info I need to convey to the convoy, like change in location, that is the person I am calling.
So figure out who going where, what route and time then pick a leader. That person is responsibly for getting the rest of the convoy to the site at the Park. This also may come in handy for parking.
I do not expect any problems with the picnic site but i want to be able to plan ahead if there are changes. If there is a change there will be ONE car posted at the visitors center Clearly marked with the new location for any stragglers.
As stated before IL does not reserve Picnic shelters first come first served.
I for see this as being the LAST Starved Rock meet. Future Midwest Spring Kick Off events will HAVE to move to a location that can accommodate the growing number of attendees.
So lets make this the Best one Yet.(that sounds cheesy)
