It’s time to think warm and sunny thoughts. You may have noticed from other sources that the scheduled time for the 2010 Secrets of Jo Daviess County Tour has been set at June 18 – 20. We haven’t established the exact agenda yet, but here are some generalities.
Once again, the emphasis will be on driving. We’ll have a few breaks for “points of interest” (as your GPS navigation system calls them), but we’ll be doing a lot of windshield time. We won’t be crossing the Mighty Mississippi this year and will focus on NW Illinois and SW Wisconsin. For those who have been there, rest assured that County Road C will be included. Sunday’s schedule and routing will be adjusted to get you started home earlier than before. One of the planned activities is a tour of a wind farm. We’ll get up close and personal with those big fans you see in the cornfields and get a working knowledge of how wind generated power interacts with the grid. And a newly discovered winery with really good sippin’ and a picturesque setting will replace the Massbach Ridge stop. Maybe we can work in some ATV trail riding that we wanted to do for last fall’s color tour (that got rained out).
We’re going to try to go a little lighter on the calorie intake this time; lighter, quicker lunches and only Saturday night will be a “big” meal. But, do not fear, the Friday night fish fry is still on the agenda. We’ll welcome you for a reception at our Lake Carroll home on Friday afternoon and proceed to the Yellow Creek Inn as before. We’re working on a special “event” at the Yellow Creek if we can get cooperation from the city government of Pearl City. We have a new and interesting Friday night hostel to offer and will give you details later.
It’s inevitable that some who want to attend will have schedule conflicts. There is no perfect date selection and June is especially risky with weddings predominating in that month. If you’re in the mood please let me know about your availability for this event to help with the advance planning.
Hope to have you with us.

Cruise to the Rock
November 25, 2010
1651 Midway Plaisance, Chicago, IL
(click for map)
To be driving our cars after most everyone else as stopped driving theirs, we have our traditional tops down cruise to celebrate the first automobile race in America on Thanksgiving day in 1895.
We meet at 9:00 AM at the historical race monument (the rock) at the west side of the Museum of Science and Industry in historic Hyde Park.
Click for map and directions. Expect local cable TV coverage.
Lunch afterward at Stage's Restaurant - 657 W 31st Street, Chicago, several blocks west of the Dan Ryan expressway.
1895 - The first automobile race in America began, as six cars traveled from Jackson Park in Chicago to Waukegan, Illinois. J. Frank Dureyea was the winner, traveling at a blazing speed of 7 and 1/2 miles per hour! It took him 7 hrs. 53 minutes to make the trek (bathroom stops not included). He won $2,000 for the effort.
