Midwest Meet, Late summer/fall '15, September 19th, 2015 Options

Time to start planning. When works for everyone? August, September? I doubt if we could organize in time for late July.

Haydens in Wilmington is good, really really good compared to BWW, but not like a gourmet dining experience. Upscale country casual I'd call it.

Prices are fair for the portion size I feel, I rarely go home without left overs.

Across the river is Nellys which is a greasy spoon burger kind of place, also good and not overly expensive with fair portion size.

Caveat is if you're going north, south, or west back home then this is a little out of your way but much closer than Chicago. Both places are about an hour east from Starved Rock, Wilmington being about 20 min south of Joliet if that's helpful to anyone.

The 113 route is what I'd take, country roads are my favorite and that's pretty much the route I take from Morris to the park anyway, it's a nice drive and there's some pretty scenery.
