Dave, that sounds like an awesome trip.. I just don’t have the time to burn otherwise I would gladly go with you.. When are you planning on getting to Illinois? We have a huge event happening in Moonshine Illinois on Saturday before Labor day. Not sure about your timing but since you are coming from the East, it would be a small detour. Here is the event link… http://coord.info/GC3QNYB Hope to see you while you are in the area… Thanks!
