The ride along the Rock River between Rockford and Oregon, IL on IL2 is beautiful and we could stop by the big Blackhawk statue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hawk_Statue and find a burger joint along the way. Of course getting there is half the fun.
Anyone want to head out from the Southeast corner of WI or NE Illinois. It is supposed to be 57 degrees in that area on Saturday with only 20% chance of rain. Sunny should be sunnier, but only 46 degrees.
I am open to other destinations.
