Corn Daze, Part Deux

Here you go!

Goes without saying I am in, you cannot beat Embassy Suites for the breakfast and mangers reception. I cannot tell you how much fun I had last year with this impromtu get together. I had my car for just about a month last year and this was a great learning experience for me. Here's a great shot at the People's Republic of Stanistan's Presidential Palace.

They just don't offer this type of entertainment and "Presidential" hospitality at Carlisle. Thanks, Joe!

I like the Embassey Suites.    Should be alot of fun.

So far, I see a repeat of silver, red and maroon colored cars for this years event. Who wants to volunteer to paint their car in Caterpillar yellow or John Deere green for a little more variety?

BTW, I have sent out a personal invite to another of our members here, Peter Konkel (whom I have known for over 30 years), who lives in the Chicagoland megatropolis somewhere. Peter's normally not allowed to drive his wife's VS Speedster without her permission, but he does have some other rather cool cars (if not mistaken, a Caterham and one or more TVR's for starters) that he could select from for this event if he so chooses to join us. Peter, report in here please!

Embassy Suites or really anywhere is ok with me.  I am psyched about seeing those tanks or siols or whatever the hell they are in person!

A local friend is going to let us borrow a trailer. For the first time ever, the Hoopty will be trailered to an event.

It's a sign of the Apocalypse, right here. Cory Drake WITH a real windshield, trailering the Hoopty.

Yeah, but what's he gonna PULL it with?

Probably not an F250 diesel.

That's what he got the Ghia for.

Jack, those are missle silos that will hopefully not be in use on the North Koreans during your stay.

Good one, Rich. 

For Corn Daze we have to set up some assembly point where we'll meet up for the caravan down to Peoria.

Jack, Maybe Joe and I can meet you and Rich at 39/80 in Lasalle Peru.  We can drive down 26 by the river to Peoria if we are not in a hurry?

If you do, Jack might enjoy a stop at the Starved Rock State Park lodge and get some lunch (try not to hit one of the 10,000 H/D riders). There are some decent roads up that way as well.

Yup, that's where Steve Wojciak and I met Joe last year as I recall. Just a few miles south on 39 and then we head west to some more rural roads. Took that route on my return with "Betty" last month as well. Some good silos  along that route too. We'll need to investigate Starved Rock State Park lodge maybe if it fits our schedule. Just a suggestion, Stan, would that be a destination for a cruise? BUT, you are the lead here, it's your party, MON!

Jack, you and I can figure out our Wisconsin rendezvous as time goes on here. We can discuss at Carlisle as well.

Stan, Not to put to much pressure on you, but I have never been to Peoria.  I am expecting BIG things from the Corn Daze part Duex

Well, Marty- once you've seen P-town, how are we gonna' keep you down on the farm?

Stan, what Marty is asking in a round about way is: "Are there any glove stores in Peoria?"

Seriously, Marty, I had my doubts last year too. I found Peoria to be a pretty cool place simply because it is in close proximation to Stanistan and that Bob G guy that hangs there as well.
