Well unfortunately I got called into work (I can't win lol). I'll be off fairly early. If you guys head to Rockford or something let me know, I'll swing up.

By the time all had arrived, we had (in order of arrival) @LocuMob and yours truly, soon followed by @70NEWYORKER @Xenon @71Polara383 @sixpkrt .

A friend, who bought a 1970 EB3 Polara ´vert in Ohio last summer and has been restoring it, arrived a bit later but still in time for lunch. He parked in the next row znd it was great catching up.

The weather was perfect, and amazingly seating was available by the water (the restaurant does not take reservations so the good tables are first come, first serve — we were lucky).

A water pic is needed for any CATL. The Fox River runs from Fox Lake in Northern Illinois.

PS: a nice, seemingly original, Dodge truck that was at Carlisle was parked next to a Chevelle, itself parked next to Medina. Lots of red cars today!

It was a very good day for sitting around talking and drinking.
