A little brainstorming....

EAA Chapter 64 ~ 250 nm or 4 piet-hours S of Brodhead near St. Louis, in Millstadt IL. For those headed to Brodhead this year from the South--if we could arrange rest stop on Wednesday how much interest would there be--?

1IL4 is 2,400 ft good grass with Mogas/Avgas, and potentially spare hangar space. Taking the thought further we might arrange a some meals and van to a hotel or camping. We typically have members at the clubhouse Wednesdays working on a restoration airframe if you need support.

Note, this is not confirmed, just looking to gauge interest.
-- camp
-- or hotel

I have had a couple private responses, so tentatively planning for this as a "go" -- even if it was only a single visitor. Truth be told even if I got run over by a bus this spring, 1IL4 would still not a bad stopover point for y'all. But the opportunity exists to make it a more "friendly" place, cheap gas, tools avail to clean a fouled plug, hangar in case of a storm, running water, maybe a sandwich at the ready, something a little fun for the day.
Talk to you all later.
