Has a meeting place been decided yet? The Machine Shed is a good place I have been there many times. Other than that though I have no idea what else is in the Quad Cities.

Yes, unless Brandon changed his mind.

QuoteWe will start and meet for lunch at Credit Island Park in Davenport (BYOL).  Then, we will see the Centennial Bridge, Government Bridge, New and Old I-74 Bridges, the I-80 Bridge, and the Big X Interchange.  Along the way will be the end of I-88, an older US-67 bridge across the Rock River, the Centennial Expressway, and the I-280 Bridge with a stop at the Iowa 80 Truck Stop.

Good reply. I don't think I'd have thought to reply with that. Very fitting.

So basically it's like last year's Sauk Valley road meet. We have to get lunch from someplace and bring it to the meeting spot. The Machine Shed does have take out so that works for me. What time are we meeting?

I will be present. I don't respond to public Facebook events as I choose not to be a Zucktistic.

Besides I was up in the area exactly a year prior, hope you all have fun and I will be there in spirit

I definitely won't be there, too late for planning now. I have to be with family for a private gathering due to a death in the family (some of you may have seen my post on FB).

I plan to attend the meet. I'll probably stay for two nights in Muscatine (one county over from Davenport) since I try to boost my "counties where I spent the night" count by booking overnight stays in counties where I haven't stayed before, which means not Davenport's and Moline's counties.

This meet fits into a longer road trip I'm planning.

I'm a Facebook refusnik, so if there's a Facebook event for the meet, I'll be unable to access it. Brandon, please post significant updates, such as the meet start time (not yet posted here), in this thread or by PM and not (just) on Facebook.

As of now, I'm in. Probably head out Thursday and do some sightseeing on the way. Got a room at the Tom Bodett Inn, but that may change.

That, I shall do.  I just did a recon trip today for a few things and will have a route ready soon.

Finally got the tour route complete today.  If we finish early, there's a few other things we can do.

There is another way, but I'm nt sure what it is, offhand.
