Well, I just watched the weather forecast for this week and it looks like some rain so I guess about all we can do at this point is hope for the best.

If it's gonna happen, I'll be there.

I'll try to get there. Between lousy weather and fighting this cold for going on two weeks now and trying to get Fancy's 1650 running again... It's been busy around here.

Mick, best Route from the Badger state? Maybe can come. Would be fourth PD in 2013, 1st with CC. From Dubuque south on 61 to I 80W looks to be my preference ( I have not been on 61 for 15-20 years), about 20 miles further , but only by 5 minutes from taking 151 & X40 (Google Maps)....Any & all feedback Welcome!

Paul,

Might consider taking I90 south to Rockford and I39
south to I88 towards the Quad Cities and straight
West to West Branch. It would be Expressway all the way. Can make good time.

61 is 4 lane all the way from Dbq to I-80 as is 151 rom Dbq to Marion, Ia

After you exit I80 from either direction, turn siuth and go approximately 3 miles and then turn left on Buckeye. Once on Buckeye its about 1 and 1/2 miles and will be on the north side of the road. Hopefully the rain we get in the next few days won't put a damper on this

Thanks Mick,

It's been tough this year getting good weather for PD's. Lets hope next year shines on us a little better.

Mick -- Hopefully next will be better. Thanks again for the invitation -- I wouldn't have been able to attend anyway due to other chores (so I'm kind of glad I didn't miss it!)
