Springfield Tour

[Gene C]

Wanted to see if there was interest in a 2-3 day Springfield/New Salem tour for the second week in October 2013 (peak fall foliage).

Joe Di Cola and I have discussed this and Joe would be our guide. He has been here several times. Planned stops would be New Salem and local cemeteries, Lincoln's Home and the Lincoln-Herndon Law Office, the Old State Capitol, the Abraham Lincoln Museum and the Lincoln Tomb. More places if time permits.

This would be very informal, you can join us for as much or as little of this as you want.

We were thinking about a downtown motel (Abraham Lincoln Motel ?) since it would be within walking distance of many of the sites, and there are several good restaurants in the area. Their rates are around $135/night, but maybe we can get a group discount.

We'll work out more of the details as we find out how many might be interested, so please respond if your interested. It will be a lot of fun.
