I agree Ed, Illinois is a long state. This is why they need to be in different locations. Thanks for reporting back Ed.

OK count me in on this one, unless something major goes wrong I'll show up. Seeing as it's in my neck of the woods. Not sure if I'll go to the Ranch yet. I'll just have to see what is all on my plate.

Side note Arby's is about the best spot to eat in Rantoul. It is right off of I57. Also not sure if any of you are into Museums but Rantoul has one. It's on the old Air Force base and I would be willing to take anyone over to it. Hours are from 12:00-5:00 on Sunday. Not trying to change plans but I know some people are into this stuff.

Hope you can make it. Look forward to meeting you there. I chose Arby's for that exact reason. Never been to the museum myself even wanting to but never seem to be able to make the time. I've lived in Rantoul for 7 years now and in the area my whole life.

Got A text from my father asking me to help him work on the farm on the 25th. I'm going to see if I can escape for a couple hours to meet up. I should be able to as long as I don't get to involved. I think he wants to do some tree trimming.

Sad to report that the odds of me making this are slim. Dad has bigger expectations then what he should on the amount of work he thinks we can do in two days. I will be trying to do some work there before hand. Oh well family comes first, then play time.

Fordman79, maybe we could meet up and try to get some other locals to join sometime. I was really looking forward to meeting more Ford enthusiasts. Most of my friends are GM guys but we all respect eachother.

I m sorry Keith, being from a long State is a problem. This is why I'm moving each G2G to another location each time we have one. Hope to see you the next time around.
