Camping is more importanter!
1-877-462-2671is the number to call for reservations
Hello and welcome to the 2010 rally being held in Garden Prairie, IL. July 1st through the 5th, 2010. come as early as you want, stay as late as you want(personally, we are currently looking at a nine day stay). My wife and i are grateful for the opportunity to host this years rally, and are looking forward to having everyone come out. i am still working on the schedule and will up date this thread as things fall into place.
Just an FYI if your coming in from the east on 80/94, or up from the south on 65 merging into 80/94, to avoid having to drive through Chicago stay on 80 west, past the 94 N split, past the 294 N split, past the 57 N split.( my gps kept trying to re-route me to these roads to get me home) they recently completed the 355 extension all the way down to 80. it will skirt you around downtown and drop you off on 90 to the north. depending on the time of day it could shave several hours of your travel times
