Re: Info regarding: March 13 – Colchester Quarry, Macomb IL
I am waiting on details from one of the land co-owners, will post when available. We'll probably meet around 9am either on the west side of Macomb or at the wheeling site just NW of Colchester. Stay tuned for more info...

Hope this happens. It would be a good shake down of the mods that have been made to the Jeep before Flat Nasty.

Re: Info regarding: March 13 – Colchester Quarry, Macomb IL
Directions: make your way to Macomb, then head west out of town on highway 136. Once you get to the town of Colchester, continue through town to the west side, then turn right (north) at the last street in town, Constitution Road. This road will turn back west again. After about 3/4 mile, there will be an intersection, stay to the right. A short while later you'll cross a bridge, then pass by one driveway on the right and turn into the second driveway, there will be a big blue gate.
The Plan: meet at 9am at the quarry. The trails are made for Jeep CJ/Wrangler sized vehicles, and this place will put scratches in your paint. No full/over sized vehicles allowed. Bring a lunch. Absolutely no alcohol allowed on the property. Run the trails until about 5pm, then head into Macomb to eat at a local pizza place.
Please let John Gage know if you are planning to attend via email at plumbingdoctor@yahoo.com or phone 309-333-9108. Even if you post here to say you're going, email or call John too because he probably won't see your response here. Unfortunately I will not be attending as I'll be in Europe on a business trip, but I can answer any questions the rest of this week.... Fraser

Re: Info regarding: March 13 – Colchester Quarry, Macomb IL
I'll be bringing my son, his friend and friend's father with me. We're up for a convoy, but we're in Elmwood (west of Peoria), so would probably meet as you passed this way.
Won't make the inspections cause the wife planned a trip to Chicago. Thought it best that I go....I'll need the brownie points for later trips.

Sounds like a plan. Don't know the KFC right off hand but it looks to be between the river bridge and the airport exit on 474.
