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.

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.

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, 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!
