Mike-a great round of applause to you on your Mothball Tour.
The parks will surely be missed - I wish I knew about Weldon and Moraine View before the closure; could've easily been some of my favorites. The distance was just right - made me feel like I was on vacation - much needed before returning to work on Monday. Please continue on suggesting places to visit. Last but not least, thanks for opening up your home - it was a pleasure to meet your family and hope to see more of them. Had a fantastic time camping, dinner @ Ted's, and finally the campfire!

Cindy could not have said it better. Those members not able to attend missed a great time! Future rides to those state parks that stay open would be great events for a weekend club activity. Thanks again Mike!

Thanks Cindy & Carey,

Jerry and Chrisy provided some great advice since this was my first time. Jerry also found Ted's, what a great place. If anyone is in Clinton, IL check out Ted's. I may try to camp in November before Weldon is closed. What a great state park! We had 25 at my house and gained a few more along the way. We ended up in one group of four at the last park. I hope the parks stay open so we can do this again.

I was only able to do part of the first day (bailed out after lunch) but what a fantastic ride even just that part was. Thanks to everyone who made it possible -- especially Mike and family.

Yours in the sport,

Wow! Looks like I missed a great tour. Cindy told me all about it and I really wish I could have been there.

At least we didn't get skunked fishing:

That's a dog fish that my fishing buddy caught. He also caught this:



So, where are pictures of your trip?
