Well, there's a very nicely done map here: http://pages.ripco.net/~jwn/busse.gif that we can use as reference (it's not included due to its size).
If we want maximum visibility, we can try for the entrance at the east end of Higgins (near the first shelter) or at the west end of Higgins, staying west and going for the first shelter there. We almost certainly won't get shelters unless the weather's so bad that the people with plans abandon them.
The circle closest to the fishing wall might also be good. It's roughly centered vertically on the map and closer to the west edge - you get to it from the west entrance on Higgins, then follow the road around.

Yay! Good to hear from you, Patrick. I tried e-mailing you last week to ask about the 8th, but it bounced back...mailbox full or something.
June 8th it is...now we just need to get the location pinned down.

Location for Chicago meet.
I suggest we meet somewhere at a store, and then migrate over to the Busse Woods. That way there are no problems.
I suggest we meet at Starbucks Coffee in Streets of Woodfield. It's still near 290/53 and Higgins (Rt.72) intersection, and is easy to find. If you can find Woodfield Mall, you can find Streets of Woodfield mall. It's basically next door. There is also a Galayan's Sports in that same mall.
If everyone is okay with that, I can post an address and all can pull a "driving directions" from your own front door to that Starbucks and no one will get lost.
Also, we need to exchange cell phone numbers so that we can all meet up in the event of a miscommunication.
I have my car back and am totally pumped up for this meet!!!

Yeah my mailbox was full. Hotmail took the liberty of deleting all my stuff. I am in the process of getting it back from them though. So I might get your email eventually. lol
The 8th of JUne will work for me. Just give good enough directions to me on where in Busse Woods. I have never been there before and we don't want what happened last time to happen again.

Meeting at a store is fine, but we should probably still decide on a spot in advance (or be sure several cell-phone numbers are available) for folks who show up late.

CAPP II, June 8th, 3:00pm
(The following is a copy of the email sent to those who showed interest in the June 8th CAPP meet ...AND.... sent me their email address. If you would like to receive future updates, please send me an email to speedypt@attbi.com and I will add you to the list. If you received the actual email, you're already on the list!!!)
June 8th is a lock! Lets plan to meet at Starbuck's in Streets of Woodfield. Address below:
Streets of Woodfield
601 North Martingale Road
Schaumburg, IL 60173
(847) 605-0476
You can each run a Mapquest driving directions to get directions to the store. From there we take over a location at Busse Woods. I will try to reserve a shelter so we can meet rain or shine. If this crap-*** Chicago weather ever warms up, we can have a great time.
I will definitely be cooking this time, and since we are meeting at 3pm, I can try to have it ready by about 1/2 hour into the meet.
If any of you know the email address of someone you want to be on the distribution list for this meet, email me and I'll add them to the list and send them updates.
I will also be sending GroHarlem the info to have it placed on his webpage for more interest! I'd love to have a decent picnic so that East Coast group on Edmunds and the other places don't get all the glory!!!
I don't want to sound commercialized....but....if you want to be removed from the distribution list....just let me know. I will take you off immediately.
Regards,
Pete

And no, since you didn't laugh at my Hello Kitty mirror, I won't laugh at the tape on your doors.
