CHICAGO AREA MEET-

A Chicago area meet will be held on Saturday, July 2 in the Thatcher Woods Forest Preserve at Thatcher and Chicago Avenue. I can give directions to any who need them.

For the out of towners, this will also be the final weekend for the Taste of Chicago should you want to attend that event while in the area.

This Preserve is well off of and out of sight of the roads in case someone decided to goof off a little too much, as well as a shelter in case the weather takes a turn for the worse, a large field good for games, dogs, whatever.

This will be a bring your own food type meet, there is plenty of room to set up portable BBQ grills.

---------

for those of you unfamiliar with the area, Thatcher is 1/4 mile east of 1st ave ( IL rt 171) which is alot closer to the city than the Chicken run.

those of you coming from the southwest (near where the chicken ran)

take I-55 towards chicago. after passing the 294/LaGrange road, there will be a long stretch. after the long stretch will be 1st ave, take that NORTH.

follow 1st ave for a few miles. you will pass the 290. after passing the 290, your gonna travel for about a mile until you hit Chicago ave. make a RIGHT on CHICAGO ave. (if you passed railroad tracks a 2nd time, you've gone too far)

take chicago ave to thacher, and you should be in the vicinity. its been a while since i've been there so i forgot how the whole entrance is setup

any other directions, you can PM me or try mapquest.

i BELIEVE the town is Maywood, or Oak Park.

be there or be square!

West of 1st avenue is Maywood, east of 1st Avenue is River Forest I think the Desplaine's river is the actual dividing point up there. Anyway it is a nice area, there is a little wild life sanctuary a block south of Chicago avenue as well for those who want to see a fox and other critters.

Here is a map of the immediate area to aid everyone in finding the entrance as there are three forest preserve entrances in that block.
