I could do either day, just need some notice. Also either location will work, but I would prefer Galena...

i can do either one of the days, and location doesn't matter, but my GF loves Galena, so that would maybe be a better location, although i haven't been to starved rock.

Starved Rock will be busy on the weekend, and the roads full of soccer moms and minivans.
I saw we go on Saturday to Galena. I'm acutally up for a 2 day trip out that direction and we could hit some WI roads, too.

Galena sounds good to me! If I had to pick I would prefer the Saturday run so we can get home at whatever time we want and not have to think about work the next day.

Well, it looks like everyone except super66 is in for Saturday ( bmussatti - where are you ? ) and the unanimous choice is Galena...
So here's what I'm thinking - meet at the gas station at the corner of 47 and 20 at 9:00 am Saturday morning.
Take 20W to W Galena Rd ( 6N ) and take Stagecoach Trail all the way to Galena. Stop in Galena for lunch and then head towards 20 - turn right on 4th street and take Blackjack Road to 84N ( Great River Road ) and catch 20 East in Elizabeth back to civilization.
It is about 130 miles ( 2.5 hrs ) each way from the starting point, so if we leave at 9:00 am that should put us in Galena around noon, eat / relax and head out about 1:30 pm - back at the meeting point around 4:30 pm.
Definitely a full day ! I have done both Stagecoach Trail and Blackjack Road on the Harley before, but not in the Boxster.
So, what do you guys think ?

Nick, I am in! We need to checkout CR-K in Wisconsin, just over the boarder, and north of Stockton, IL about 30 minutes.

I think I should be able to do the first round in the morning and catch lunch....I have a show in Indy so I don't think I can stick around for the second half of the day.....so I should be able to do the AM run.....

Well I messed up a bit, probably what I will do since I am coming from the West is meet you in Galena, roll back East towards Chicago with everyone and spend a nice evening in Chicago with my wife and head back on Sunday...
Just keep me posted on the meeting time in Galena....

I believe it is Starks.
Be carefull at this intersection, it is tricky the way 47, 20, and 72 all converge...
