Our next meeting is Saturday, July 11th at Sonic in Pekin.  Join Frank “F-Bomb” Struwe and the rest of The MIJC Gang for a greasy burger, an always-interesting tour of The Back Alleys Of Pekin led by Pekin native Jill Stearnes, and ice cream at a local establishment to fill any gaps possibly left in your stomach.

There are currently no other July outings scheduled, so if you’re itching to go wheeling, post up and put a group together!

Oh, and happy 4th of July…

Please welcome Tony and Jessica Bumbalough to the club.  We look forward to seeing you out on the trails or at our next event.

Some miscellaneous announcements: I updated the Forum Help page, and also added more Badlands photos.  If you have any other good help topics to add to the Forum Help page, drop me a line!  Same goes for any projects you might have going on… I know the weather has been hot and sticky, not exactly the best for working in the garage.  But if you’re working on something fun, tell us about it!

Got the first batch of photos from this past weekend’s trip to The Badlands uploaded.  Thanks to Jeff Hopwood and Todd Watkins for providing them.  Check out this one in particular.   At first I thought it was a double exposure with the water off to the right, but digital cameras can’t do that!  It’s the windshield glass reflecting the water below.  Cool effect.

More coming soon so stay tuned… just uploaded more pictures from Todd.

Photos are up from the club’s appearance at the Tremont Turkey Festival Parade, courtesy of Todd Watkins.  If you’ve got photos or video from this or any other MIJC event, contact me and I’ll arrange to get them from you (or just e-mail me the photos).  Looking forward to seeing some pictures from The Badlands this past weekend!
