Works for me. Plus I can still sleep in a little. Hehe... Noon it is with Hooters at 5 on Saturday the 28th.

Lake of the Ozarks, MO will be at the Hooters party for sure. If we get out of here early enough, we should make it up there by 5. Can't wait to meet everyone!

That's an additional 5-9 people right there... Hope you guys get up here safe...

That's awesome you guys are coming up here! It's gunna be good times!

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the weekend. :joy:

I just hope Ralphie doesn't get us kicked out of Hooters. J/K LMAO

That wouldn't surprise me at all!!!!

just an update
plans for saturday 28th -bash at noon at the berwyn woods, hooters at 5pm
Directions to the Berwyn Bash Spot!!

(originally posted by Rusty Savage)
Alright if any one is ever looking to get the offical Chicago Style bash spot here are the easiest directions (assuming you are not comming from down town Chicago)

1. Take 55 towards Chicago (you will pass the 294 exit then the hinsdale exit)

2. Exit on Harlem heading north

3. Take Harlem north for a little bit (you will pass 46th st through 40th)

4. You can either turn left on 40th or can go to the next light which is purshing and take a left. (If you hit ogden you went too far)

4a) If you turn in 40th pass powell (on your right) and you will see the entrance on your left for the forrest preserve.

4b) If you turn left on purshing take your first left (powell) and take it to the stop sign. hook a right. you will see the forrest preserve entrance on your left.


5. When you enter the forrest preserve park near the entrance. You will see a large stone shelter stright ahead of you slightly to your left. Just past the shelter there is a path, follow the path that goes left into the woods. About 50-100 ft into the woods you will see the jumps. You cant miss them!

what do you mean hippies?????????

you had to be there to understand.i think it was like 3 years ago.

yea what do u guys mean by hippies??? where they singing with a guitar in a circle???

it was a bunch of bums that were partying in the middle of the day, not "hippies" ....I wouldn't be surprised if that shelter is burned down by now.

lol... lets go party with the bums then....lol j/k

The shelter is still there and there is a fire pit... generally filled with crap. Up to you guys if you want to get a fire together...

And so I don't get lost I usually just take Ogden all the way there... Drew if you want to follow me that way you can.

yea i think the fire is a good idea..and i should be following u unless i gota go to my nephews party early..

i think you need a permit for a fire. i would hate to see the bash broken up because of it. someone might want to call and find out.

Not a bad idea, does anyone got a number for it? j/k We never had to at any of the parks out by me. Fires were acceptable if they were contained in a pit of some sorts. But better safe then sorry.

We can tell them we are cooking over oak! Just have the fire in a Smokey Joe grill!
