June 7-9.
Maybe right after MattG's visit, evening of the 8th, you'll be heading that way(west). Maybe caravan with Matt. When we start to annoy you, you can retreat up into the hills.
Thread for gathering: http://itinerant-air-cooled.com/viewtop ... 2882#62882
and the midwest get together thread...

I can promise a couple of beers to get the conversation flowing. :>

A preliminary map of where the campout is:
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&clien ... a=N&tab=wl
Once you make the turn onto Devil's Ladder Road it is about a 1/2 mile to the bottom of a hollar and you see some handpainted signs. That is the campground. Turn onto that drive and we should be way in the back where the road ends, unless that spot is taken. Of course we will update the time and give better directions.

I think the best hint you gave me Turk, was that it was opposite Eagle Ridge Resort and heading West it was down a long hill. I think a lot of cell phones work there. Who's coming:
ChitwnVw
VWbusrepairman
Turk
Hambone
Hippie
MattG ( maybe, depending on work)
If we get 5 buses out there, that would be awesome!

chitwnvw said I had to go. For the record, I've driven my bus to Mexico and back twice and I have faith that it can make the journey (especially since a guru is behind the wheel).turk wrote:VWbusrepairman?? That's quite a ways. You could take route 38 or 64 if you are coming from a more southern direction.
how many miles are we talking from Bloomington, Indiana? (the southern direction)

I would guess 300 to 350. You could take I-74 from Indianapolis through Illinois, maybe to US 84.VWBusrepairman wrote:chitwnvw said I had to go.

Here's what mapquest came up with:
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/Bloomington+IN/Galena+IL/
I wouldn't have gone that way. If you do go that way we can meet up in Chicago and caravan.
