We will hit the Rockford IL area about 2:30 or 2:45 pm. We will probably stop somewhere before getting on the short stretch of toll road, but that isn't planned just yet.
Next stop probably at the hotel about 4:30 or 5pm.
We will be hosting a get-together Sunday night at a great

Ron Porter will officially kick off the Caravan at the Ernie Pyle Service Plaza on westbound I-80/I-90 (Indiana Toll
Road). The Plaza is approximately at Mile Marker (MM) 126, and is a few miles west of the intersection of I-69 and the Toll Road in eastern Indiana. We will meet in the Plaza around 8:30 AM on Monday July 14th, and leave by 9:00 AM. We will proceed west on the Toll Road. After a rest stop in Indiana, we will enter Illinois and take I-294 (the Tri-State
Toll way) north to I-55. We will take I-55 to I-355, and go northbound to I-88. Turning westbound on I-88, we will arrive at the Naperville Road exit around Noon, where we will stop for lunch. The meeting spot will be Chevy’s Fresh Mex on Naper Blvd, although there are a number of restaurants, including fast food, in the immediate area. This is also the gas stop. Continuing west on I-88 at no later than 1:00 PM, we will then take I-39 north, which then connects with I-90, which will take us to Madison. We should arrive at the hotel around 4:00 PM. There are stops planned approximately every 1.5 hours along the way.
If you are going to participate in the Caravan, I would appreciate an RSVP to
rsporter@prodigy.net or call
to 248-891-4760. Let me know where you plan on meeting up with us, and include your cell phone number if you have one.
We will be also be monitoring FRS Channel 11 (It’s the 11th SHO Convention!). I will also provide
window signs with the Convention
logo (Adobe PDF format) for your left rear window during the Caravan.
Anyone can join us at any point along the Caravan route. If you do so, you may want to check with me via cell phone to see if we are on schedule. I’m not bringing a CB radio along; as we have found that FRS radios work well within the caravan, and cell phones work better beyond the FRS radio range.
More to come
As other caravans are sent to us they will be listed
here.
Extra Notes
This notice comes to us from
"I am on I-90 in La Crosse, Wisconsin. SHO convention-goers from the
northwestern states will pass within two miles of my home. "If anyone would like to lay over in La Crosse (on the way to or from),
let me know and I'll fire up the grille. "I have two SHOs and would like to have both of them at the convention
(92 for Blackhawk, 91 for drag). Is there anyone traveling I-90 who could help me by loaning me a second driver?"
