We will meet in DeKalb on the NIU College campus at 10:30 am.
On the west end of the campus is the NIU Convocation Center.
Off of rte 38 go north on Presidents Blvd past the Convocation center (2nd right) and then turn left into lot C3.
I have provided a link to help you with direction.
You may need to increase the size/view of this map to better read it.
Look at the left hand side of the map to see lot C3

Once we meet there we can have a pretty open road for a cruise south on Rte 23 into Ottowa and then west on Rte 6 to Rte 178 and south into Utica,Ill
This is a 58 mile drive and there are a couple good places to eat in downtown Utica right on rte 178.
I reccomend Skoogs pub
Then just a few miles south and over the Illinois river is the west entrance to Starved Rock State Park which is a great place to stop and chat some more after lunch and take pictures etc
OK Gary, I'm Busted.
Cathy just found out you Chi town guys are going to Starved Rock this coming weekend. (She sees my emails at work) I haven't mentioned it because our company is having their picnic pool party and our grand daughter is with us for the summer.
When I reminded her of this she threatened to cancel the party ( she is the Boss!). Then I pointed out that three, her, me and Rebecca couldn't fit in the roadster.
She suggested I go to the pool party. She and Rebecca would go to Starved Rock.
Don't put her on the list. I think, but don't know, she
might be kidding.
I should never have taught her how to drive a manual.
