Looks like Google Maps finally has it listed correctly... :)  I just typed in "JC Whitney, La Salle, IL" and it came right up.  Hopefully nobody gets lost this year.

with the map on the fliers I would think all would be good....maybe some signs on the interstate at the Peru exit would help...just a thought

The flyer states what town it's in...  so if they google map the correct town all is fine...

No I haven't yet. I put up a post today asking for any help. I'm sure my 3rd cylinder blew out or whatever. I don't know how to work on the engine but will be glad to pay someone to fix it. If any of our members needs the work than maybe you could get us in contact with eachother or refer me to someone who works on motors. I am looking to make arangements now because before we know it spring will be here and I want to be on the road. Any ideas?

Deaner was doing some side work, but now he is back to work. I can't even seem to get enough motivation to get my own stuff done!

This may be way to early to be talking about this, but last year we took a "scenic" route through Ottowa by getting off a few exits earlier than the JC Whitney exit. 
Route 71 took us through Ottowa, along the river, and through some windey road in the woods.  We ended up at Rte 178, only south of Starved Rock State park, and drove north to JC Whitney's.
