Springfield Tour

[Gene C]

Target date - Arrive at Springfield on Oct 10. I will probably arrive early in the afternoon. Visit sites listed in post #1 on Friday & Saturday the 11th & 12th. I've will probably head home on Sunday, but you can stay longer if you want to.
Joe knows Springfield area better than I do, so he might be able to tell you more. The motel is downtown within walking distance of Lincoln's home and the museum, as well as several other sites. We were planning on a nice restaurant downtown for at least one evening meal. Joe indicated we might even do a downtown walking tour in the evening, and that there is a nice bookstore downtown also. This event will be very informal, a group of friends who have never met each other seeing the sights. You can come for part or all of the sites. I have not yet called the motel to see if we can get a group discount till I have a better idea on how many may come. Hope you and your wife can come Bill, it should be great! My wife is planning on coming too.

For those of you who may live in the Springfield area, come join us, if only for lunch or dinner. (Or we could arrange to come over to your house for breakfast on Saturday around 5:30 AM - I'll bring the eggs)
