Lee

I am getting on in Crown Point and getting back off at the first stop in IA.

It is a hoot. My wife and I have done it the last 4 years in the Cobra.

Let me know if you want to meet up.

John

I'd consider doing the Crown Point to Bettendorf leg. Would love to meet up with other Cobras!

I have changed my plans. I am not going to Ind. but will meet the tour at
LUNCH STOP – HEIDTS AUTOMOTIVE. Then join the group to Iowa.

I will call Heidts tomorrow and check things out. More later.

Lee

I'll see you guys up at the Dells the 13th.
Sounds like a Good Time !

Lee,where is HEIDTS AUTOMOTIVE ???:confused:
Ralph:MECOOL:

Lake Zurick? Off r t 12 south of 120

I will call tomorrow and check more into this at Heidts. Sorry for the delay.

Lee

Is there a way to find out the routes the Tour will be taking going from Indiana to Iowa and onto Wisconsin? I checked the online link and couldn't spot that information. I would like to maybe drive along on some of the routes but not necessarily stay overnight at any place.

Mark

I will email you a copy, Mark.

Lee

Heidts is hosting a lunch for the Tour. I plan to get there about 10 am and join in the trip to Iowa then on to Wisconsin Dells. I called Heidts and they are ok with more from WCCC coming for lunch. So who ever can join me on Thursday June 12 is welcome. The link below is the website.

I grew up in Crown Point and would love to join the cruise at the fair grounds. Unfortunately I'm in Reno Nevada for work this week and won't get home until 6am Thursday. Are they meeting at Heidts at 10am Thursday? If do, I will be there in my newly built FFR MarkIV.

Kevin

Kevin, that is the plan, however, the weather forecast does not sound favorable. But then again, the chances are pretty good that the weathermen are wrong.;)
We'll play it by ear!:)

Ralph:MECOOL:

I plan to be there for the lunch stop on Thursday. Come on.... it is going to be maybe 2 miles from my house so how can I not be there???
