Thank you for the info, and the explanation.. sounds good. I did a lightening tour of the area over last weekend through Tuesday, and liked what I saw... There are a lot of small towns there.. more'n I am used to seeing. I try to avoid Chicago - too many people going the other way, when I walk, and too many people going the same way when I drive..

Hydroplane races sound fun.. Meet and greets are always good fun. I look forward to doing things and meeting folk.
