07/26/08 Chitown Gathering IL,WI,MN,IA,MO,KY,IN,MI,

knightfan26917 · March 20, 2008

IMHO, it is time for a Chicagoland-area gathering. Based on responses to the poll/questions I asked recently, this is an informal gathering. Attendees are welcome to bring their car to show, show up to visit, or both! We may attend a car cruise Saturday night.

DATE

= Saturday, July 26, 2008

TIME

= Start ... ~noon

= end ... dusk, when Forest Preserve closes [OR] later, if we attend a cruise night

...Shelter is reserved from noon until dusk, but please feel welcome to stop by for even just a short while to visit, if you want.

LOCATION

= west of Elgin IL

= Burnidge-Paul Wolff Forest Preserve at Big Timber and Coombs Rds:

west of Randall Rd, IL RT 31, IL RT 25 ... south of I-90, IL RT 72 ... north of I-88, IL RT 64, IL RT 20 ... east of I-39, IL RT 47

= Burnidge Shelter:

http://www.kaneforest.com/fp/map/BurnidgePaulWolff.pdf

...This has electrical outlets, a built-in grill, a fire pit, access to water, and is handicap accessible.

COST

= food (we have to eat anyway, right?) ... NO alcoholic beverages.

= gas (can't control this one, sorry)

= lodging (if needed)

= ABSOLUTELY, 100% _NO_ REGISTRATION, ENTRY OR PARTICIPANT FEES!!!

ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

This IS a RAIN or SHINE gathering. If it rains, we will have a shelter, or we can go to a nearby restaurant....

Plenty of hotels/camping in the area, if you are joining us from a distance. If many are coming from a distance, I will look into securing group rates for hotels and/or camping areas....

I've wanted to do this in the Chicago area because of the fun/awesome times I've had meeting people in informal gatherings during my road trips, including (but not limited to) these:

Me..hopefully.

For me, it depends on the little guy. (he'll only be a few months old then)

Both the wife and I agreed that we would like to spend a weekend out.....

A day in Chicago and a good part of the day there.

*nods*

Sounds like a plan, Dave ... but, certainly, I understand about the baby on the way .

*UPDATE*

This gathering is in 4 MONTHS, but it's NEVER too early to plan to JOIN us or put this on your CALENDAR! Let me know even if you're just THINKING about coming....

I may supply the drinks (non-alcoholic, of course, since alcohol is not allowed in the Forest Preserve)....

SATURDAY NIGHT:

I'll look into car cruises in the area that we might attend, for those interested....

As of now, about 40 people plan to attend.... How about YOU? Will you JOIN us?

If I need to find and reserve a bigger space/forest preserve shelter (due to more coming), I am happy to do that.... So, please advise even if you are just THINKING about joining us....

To those coming:

Are you interested in going to a cruise night somewhere in the area that evening? If so, does distance from the afternoon location matter?

And, anyone plan to stay overnight, either Friday or Saturday?

I'll see what my schedule looks like sooner to the date. I'd like to be able to make the trip, but we'll see what my schedule looks like closer to the date.

Sounds good, Northie!

daves87rs · April 1, 2008

I guess when her car goes gets work done before the kid, I should get it road trip ready....

Though I could bring the Balt if the little guy stays with the parents for the weekend.....

Either way, I gotta start working on those cars.....

And, Chris ... that'd be awesome! It SHOULD be fun ... that's the whole point ... he he ... have fun and meet people and see some nice cars (not necessarily in that exact order, of course)!

knightfan26917 · April 6, 2008

*LOCATION*

*PLEASE NOTE*

SAME Forest Preserve, DIFFERENT SHELTER!

Since the number of potential people attending this event has increased to ~50, I have CHANGED the reservation from the 50-person-capacity Burnidge Shelter to the 75-person-capacity PAUL WOLFF SHELTER:

http://www.kaneforest.com/fp/map/BurnidgePaulWolff.pdf

The Paul Wolff Shelter is EASIER access ... direct from Big Timber Rd; Burnidge Shelter is nestled back in a way, from either Big Timber or Coombs Rds.

The Burnidge-Paul Wolff Forest Preserve at Big Timber and Coombs Rds is...

...NORTH of I-88, IL RT 64, IL RT 20

...SOUTH of I-90, IL RT 72

...EAST of I-39, IL RT 47

...WEST of Randall Rd, IL RT 31, IL RT 25

...ABOUT A 10-15-minute drive, SW from the I-90/Randall Rd interchange.

...ABOUT A 5-10-minute drive, N from IL RT 20

Elgin is about an hour (depending on traffic) NW of Chicago, along I-90 and IL RT 20.

*DATE*

Saturday, July 26, 2008

*TIME*

Starting ... ~noon

Ending ... ~dusk, when Forest Preserve closes [OR] later, if we attend a cruise night

Come for as short or as long a time as you want!!!

*COSTS*

Food (we have to eat anyway, right?) ... NO alcoholic beverages.

Gas (can't control this one, sorry)

Lodging (if needed)

ABSOLUTELY, 100% _NO_ REGISTRATION, ENTRY OR PARTICIPANT FEES!!!

*CRUISE NIGHT*

I've been considering some locations. Anyone have suggestions? I've thought about Beef Villa in S Elgin, but that parking lot would not be able to handle it even if a fourth of us went there. So, I'm open to suggestions, if people ARE interested in a cruise night.

*OVERNIGHT*

Anyone planning to stay overnight Friday or Saturday nights? If so, let me know ... I can check out local hotels/motels/camping areas....

*ATTENDEES*

ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

This IS a RAIN or SHINE gathering. If it rains, we will have a shelter, or we can go to a nearby restaurant....

I've listed people even if they are just THINKING about coming and/or have to see how their schedule is shaping up closer to the event.

Will YOU JOIN US???!!!

I think I am out of town that week. Myself and my son (who posts sometimes... actually almost as much as me maybe more) would love to come, I'll have to check with the boss (wife/mom). I am not sure, I sorta doubt it but if I can I will. I know we would have a great time.

And, I agree, dave...hope to have a few more yet this year .

FOOD:

I will double check, but I believe the pavilion features a BBQ for grilling. So, please bring whatever you wish to share and pass, etc.

And, of course, bring chairs, etc., if you wish!

"I don't want to take this life for granted" ... Keith Urban ... 'Somebody Like You'

knightfan26917 · May 18, 2008

****UPDATE****

*****NEW LOCATION POSSIBILITY / INPUT NEEDED*****

We have reached CAPACITY for the Paul Wolff Shelter we currently have reserved.

THUS ... I drove around the area a bit and found a potential new location:

STEAK'n'SHAKE

290 S RANDALL RD

ELGIN IL 60123

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/290+S+Randall...Elgin+IL+60123/

This is...

...NORTH of I-88, IL RT 64

...SOUTH of IL RT 20 (by about a block or so), I-90, IL RT 72

...EAST of I-39, IL RT 47

...WEST of IL RT 31, IL RT 25

...~20-minute drive, S from the I-90/Randall Rd interchange.

I spoke with the Steak'n'Shake general manager on Saturday, May 17. They have a 95-person capacity, and while they do not take reservations, the manager assured me they would be able to accomodate the entire group, if everyone wants to eat there. The manager suggested keeping the gathering time at noon, which would be before their usual Saturday "rush" arrives....

PLUSES FOR THIS LOCATION

* Overnight accomodation options remain the same!

* Steak'n'Shake sits in front of a shopping center that is CURRENTLY mostly UNOCCUPIED, which means, we have plenty of parking.

* If you do not like Steak'n'Shake, a KFC is right next door; across Randall Rd, other restaurant options include McDonalds, Burger King, etc.

* A bit closer to car show possibilities ... and, given the location, the gathering could very well turn INTO a car cruise gathering.

DRAWBACKS FOR THIS LOCATION

* Farther away from overnight accomodations than the Preserve (but not as far away as other options are...).

* This will no longer be a cookout type gathering (but, we'll have room for everyone).

* This is in a higher-traffic area than the Preserve.

* While starting time for the gathering would remain at noon, the time at one location would be shorter, unless people come to check out our cars.... If we have to go elsewhere, plenty of cruise nights are in the area at which we could arrive a bit "early"....

SO ... WHAT DO YOU THINK about this NEW location? Please share your COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS/THOUGHTS!

I'm getting ready to go to the Monte Carlo Nationals, this weekend (June 27-29), in Pennsylvania:

http://www.montecarloclub.com/Monte_Nationals_Page.htm

BUT...less than a MONTH later, this Chicagoland gathering will take place!!! As of now, ~86 people from 17 DIFFERENT groups/message boards are planning to or thinking about attending this gathering, PERHAPS the first of its type...and the first of many.... Will YOU JOIN us?

I hope most of you listed are able to come (especially since the LOCATION has CHANGED to accommodate the INCREASED number of participants), and I hope more people SERIOUSLY consider JOINING US. This should be a GREAT time and a WONDERFUL way to meet others; I know many people are looking forward to this.

knightfan26917 · July 7, 2008

I had a great time at the MC Nationals last weekend (hard to believe it is already over), but now, I'm gearing up for THIS gathering in LESS THAN 3 WEEKS!!!

I will have my '87 MC LS (clean or not, since it IS a daily driver) with me, and if I can get some help, my older 4 MCs will be there, too. Course, I probably should wash the older 4 MCs so they at least look OK and aren't dusty as heck as they are now....

We have a few more people showing interest in attending. So, WILL YOU JOIN US? As of now, ~88 people from 17 DIFFERENT groups/message boards are planning to or thinking about attending this one-of-a-kind, first-of-its-type and (hopefully) first-of-many gathering....

It is about time to let me know for sure if you are coming or not...so, please advise ASAP.... I hope most of you listed are able to come (especially since the LOCATION has CHANGED to accommodate the INCREASED number of participants), and I hope more people SERIOUSLY consider JOINING US. This should be a GREAT time and a WONDERFUL way to meet people, especially in THIS area....

Hmmm...since the last time, the forecast has, of course, changed. It is now calling for "Isolated Thunderstorms" for Saturday, July 26. I would expect that to change multiple times over the course of the week...as usual. REGARDLESS, this gathering WILL TAKE PLACE...RAIN or SHINE! So...come JOIN US!

_BOARD STATS_

If you've followed the attendance list changes, you know we've added some people while others have advised that they will NOT be there after all.

Some of those joining us will only be there in the afternoon, while others are only able to join us in the evening hours, while still others are planning to stay overnight in the area and go home Sunday.

The final attendance list will be different than the one below (some will not come, some may come that haven't even said they will be there, etc.). BUT...based on the CURRENT list of those PLANNING or THINKING about joining us, here are some interesting statistics. The full, UPDATED attendance list follows below.

94 people PLANNING to join us.... WILL YOU BE THERE?

***** ATTENDEES *****

ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

In case you don't see me by my '87 MC LS (or my other MCs, if they are there), I plan to wear my black T-shirt with the "Monte Carlo" script on it in white, similar to the mudflap on my '76 MC:

http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/mc1976/76MC1007_10_JPG.html

WILL YOU BE THERE?

As of now, ~92 people from 17 DIFFERENT groups/message boards are planning to or thinking about attending this one-of-a-kind, first-of-its-type and (hopefully) first-of-many gathering.... Course, if you've followed the attendance list changes, you know we've added some people while others have advised that they will NOT be there after all. And, no doubt, the final attendance list will be different than the one below (some will not come, some may join us that haven't said they will, etc.).

Some joining us will only be there in the afternoon, while others are only able to join us in the evening hours, while still others are planning to stay overnight in the area and go home Sunday....

I hope most of you listed are able to come (especially since the LOCATION has CHANGED to accommodate the INCREASED number of participants), and I hope more people SERIOUSLY consider JOINING US. This will be a GREAT time and a WONDERFUL way to meet people, especially in THIS area....

gm4life · July 26, 2008

Sorry Knightfan. I do hope next year...

daves87rs · July 26, 2008

KF-

I wasn't sure if you read my post-but do the the "cane" beating I took (trying to help someone keep their purse)

I just got the word from the doctor ( a few days ago)-I'm healing (good thing)-but I am not able to drive long distances for 3-4 months...

Which sucks, because the Cav is ready to go-and I even ought a new pillow for the little guy on this trip....

I'm hoping people might come visit me...

I really wanted to go....I just seem to have no luck this year...

knightfan26917 · July 26, 2008

gm4life....I hope so, too ... because that'd mean we had a good turnout THIS year... he he.

dave...that's OK. I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to make it after I read that post. Ah, well...hope you feel better. I'll be in the Detroit area in August, remember?

Oh yeah...darn pain meds... :smilewide:

We'll just have to hang then....

knightfan26917 · July 28, 2008

*nods*

Sounds like a plan.

And, you gotta love pain meds .

Anyway....woo hoo!

*grins*

This was a HUGE SUCCESS!

Preliminary count ... over 60 (that's right, 60) people gathered in Elgin IL, Saturday, July 26, 2008. Not everyone was there at once, but the bulk of the crowd was between noon and 4pm local time.

Ed and Derek A (both from several MC-related groups/boards) took a BUNCH of pictures. Once they are ready, I will post a link for ALL to ENJOY...along with official count/results and some notes. So...stay tuned!

THANK YOU!

wildcat · July 28, 2008

Congratulations on the success! Scanning over the posts in this thread, I can see you put a lot of work into it, finding a location, contacting people, etc.

knightfan26917 · July 30, 2008

*nods*

Thanks, wildcat.

Yes, I did.... I was a bit concerned about how many people would ACTUALLY show up...but, I was pleasantly surprised! So, all that time and energy was WELL worth it, imo.

I'll post pictures and notes about it later this week .

daves87rs · July 31, 2008

Now we have to do some more stuff...

knightfan26917 · August 1, 2008

Heh...we'll see .
