Not sure if I am going to make it guys... I just dont feel good right now. Not sure what my poblem is.
Got off the plane last night and I had a motion sickness feeling. I get motion sickness easily on planes and boats. (almost threw up on the small plane from Peoria to Chicago)
I still have that dizzy, floating feeling in my head. Had it ever since I got off the plane. Not really sure what it is honestly but I don't like it. If I am still feeling like this tomorrow I don't think I am going to make the 1.5 hr car drive... I'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Its not rocket science but figured I'd map it out for people going from Regal Warrington Thearter.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...&t=h&z=17&om=1
About 8-9 cars are expected to show up and convoy. I am leaving at 11:25am, and encouraging everyone to do the legal speed limit and not doing anything stupid along the way. Hopefully others respect that and will do the same, if not, group up and go on your own. But also, if we get a light and half get through and half don't, I say keep on going cause there aren't too many places to pull over onto the side of the road on these roads. So if you don't know the area too well, ask to follow someone who knows the area real well like myself. Else it should be short and simple.

To all,
Thank you all soooo much for making this event an event once again. Please do not lose sight that it is absolutely nothing without you all showing up. I was hoping, then grateful and then finally blown away with the turnout. When I did a walk through at the "height" of the event, I counted fifty-five (55) vehicles. Already at that point some had slipped off. But the official count by me is at 55. Damn. I was hoping to touch 40. Thanks to all of you, it was an awesome turnout.
Thanks goes out to those of you that brought "stuff". We had sent out my daughter Jessica for more hot dogs... and with some packs that someone brought, The Carol served up over 120. We are both happy that you all ate and we didn't have to cart too much crap back home. We both appreciate those that brought the waters, ice and coolers. There was only half a case of water left and some diet coke.
In all honesty, I was surprised by the cake. Thanks for the moment to "sing" (You all collectively suck) Happy Birthday. Major thanks to Pampered-z's wife Sue for the cake. I think she got the idea from a photo off my website that is also published in a firebird book. I really don't think I am aggressive driver... everyone else drives too slow. Bahahhahahaha. But it wasn't about me, it was all about you people.
The Park Ranger finally showed up at 4:20ish. He came in and exited out of the same entrance, and thus never saw the road. Bahahahhahhahhaha.
I thoroughly enjoyed doing this for you all, and will do so again next year for you. And yeah, I let myself to be persuaded to do a burnout.... (Liz)... but I enjoy more watching you all carrying on.
Thanks for the conversations. Thanks for the sight and burning rubber smells. Thanks to all for coming out.
warmly,
ron and "The Carol"
