I see these threads for various meet & greets! Gets me wondering, is there a Chicagoland area meet & greet? Owners association?

I live in Berwyn (BEERwyn ;D) which is just minutes west of downtown ChiTown. Work in Darien, west on I55.

D,

You ever drive your old Bronco to work?

We usually drive through lower MI, along the coast. I'm actually from MI, SE part by Toldeo, OH. Oddly, I've never been to the UP. Mackinac and Alpina is the furthest north I've ever been!

I'm on the NW side of the city. I've got a '75 Ranger daily driver (which doesn't get much love in the summer months since I'm usually riding motorcycles). I'm always down for a meet up. Superdawg perhaps?

Weekend of July 13th we are in Indiana camping and picking up a set of duals for the Bronc from a member on the board. Rest of July should be fine.

Is that Saturday the 7th (of 4th of July weekend) going to be too busy for people?
Are we thinking the new Superdawg in Wheeling (not Chicago)? I'm close to both, but Wheeling's lot is WAY bigger.
Also, do we want a Saturday/Sunday lunch deal or early evening? Lunch might be less busy, but could be more steamy.

Wheeling is a hike, the one Chicago is half the distance, only 14 miles. I don't mind the drive. Just which ever one could get more peeps!

DG! I work just south in Darien! And live in Berwyn.

Lets meet up and talk about our rigs Illinois73!

We did CO a couple years ago in our JK. Before we bought our Bronc. That trip is seriously awesome! Camped on Pikes Peak for the hill climb! Rode the rapids on the Rio. Toured the Cliff Dwellings. Spent a week out there.
