Anyone in DownState Illinois

[mspeasl]

Gang,

How about a nice drive out into the country to "Straved Rock" State Park in the spring. It a very prety park with a lot of history and lots of room and parking. Its all interstate from down town to the park. When we had a 96 Impala SS it was a regular spring time thing. Week-end before Memorial day was when it was held. I could speak to the Chicago Land Impalas and see if they are still doing it and if it could be a joint thing for all of us.

I'm near Peoria and would definitely be interested in a get-together once the warmer weather comes back. Starved Rock would be a wonderful place (frequent the place on my motorcycle), but I'm up for just about anywhere!

So If you didnt see TommyZ from the Great Lakes is working on a Meeting in Detroit with the Maurader and Impala Clubs at a race track. Sounds fun to me.
Were also working on getting in to the Dub show on May 1st at MCcormick Place. And maybe a gathering at the Chicago auto Show.

On my ride to Milwaukee today i thought about a trip down state IL. My wife and I are found of a resturant called Carlos O'kellys. I found that they have several in the middle of IL for some strange resone. What does every one think about gathering at one of these places. I know its not a Hooters but atlest they have good texmex food.
I'm all for the national parks idea when should we set it up for.

Scarbrs,

Hows the above for a date? BTW Carlos O'kellys started here in Decatur and they have a sister resturant called "Taters" which have the greatest taters you ever tasted.

Scarbrs,

I'm 62 and it doesn't take me 4 days to recover from a Birthday.
Maybe you and I could meet the last Sunday of the new car auto show in Chicago at the Chrysler booth in February, that is if the snow isn't to deep that I can't get to Chicago.
