The rest of us will be waiting for y'all in Galena, and we'll try to stay in touch and plan for your arrival so we might reconstitute there into a happy MINI family again.

I plan on heading out from Tipton to Chicago on Sunday around 10 am. I'll be aiming at arriving at the Dana Hotel around check-in time, 3 pm. Probably will plan on stopping for lunch and a leg stretch along the way. If anyone is interested in caravanning to chicago with us, let me know.
Jay? You got your ears on?

I'm heading out a little earlier than Cindy and not going into the city. I'll be stopping in Willowbrook, then heading down to the Autobahn to await the caravan from Memphis, or wherever they are coming from, and enjoy the autocross (but not participating.) There is gambling just down the street, if I run out of fun.

I would like to shoot some video of the MTTS "parade" as you pass by.
(I still need to scout these locations to be sure they are visually, tripod, and handicap appropriate) tentatively:
First, as you come around the curve west of Walford, at the intersection of 151 and County Trunk Road E68.
Second, south of Amana as you transit from 151 to 6.
Anyone willing to give me a heads-up by phone when you are near Mt. Vernon?

I'll PM you for one of our MINI friends who is going coast-to-coast. He posts on FB.
