Me and my group + Matt and his Friend (too bad Matt your coming early with me I dont care what you say haha) will be there early and set up shop, Ill try to bring some sh!t to put at the entrance so all of you non map reading people can be like "OH THERE IT IS" ... and then get lost somehow in the parking lot.

. i can read a map, but having some sort of land mark is always helpful when you have never been to your destination. thanks for doing that.

[GTgoddess]

haha, you can wear a reflector vest with wands and wave them at people. Light some of those fire thingies and keep them on the ground.

[GTgoddess]

i'm so excited. This is going to be funny hahaha.

[5-lO]

You laugh as though I AM Going to wear a poncho... not happening

I will get some bright orange poster board though and somehow get it to stay by the entrance, think that will be sign enough for everyone?

[Metallman56]

big orange sign yeah i think that should be good. thanks again

[GTgoddess]

I'm color blind..............

[ViperGTSR]

[GTgoddess]

Hey Jon.........will you sing the badger badger badger song with your poncho, bright orange poster board, and wands in front of Busse?!?! MAN I'm freakin' bored at work.

Thats exactly what I don't want to happen.

Does Busse Wood's have a website or something?

[ViperGTSR]

why would we need a website!? this isnt ****ing rocket science man. Just chill, drive, enjoy the scenery, it sounds like itll be right as u enter the park.

[Metallman56]

hard to do all of that when you dont know exactly where your going. you cant mapquest where the meet is so he is just trying to find anther way to get there.

i dont know if they have a website, but i will see what i can do for ya.

[GTgoddess]

Ok, I google image searched busse woods maps, we definitely need someone to point us in the area of this place we are going. I found a few maps, but I don't think they are showing me all the roads through the forest preserve. Someone who knows the place, please do the image search, find one, put a red circle around the approximity we are meeting, and post it back up so I can put it on the first post. Thanks. I just want this to avoid confusion. I agree. I don't want everyone lost

BTW. Can we make this meeting near the bathrooms too?

Also, we don't have to pay to get into this park do we!?

[Ajaxus]

isnt there only the one entrance on the higgins side?

[dsk727]

okay here is the map... look to the left.. that is I290, see where you exit at Higgins, (the big road cutting through the middle of the picture) there you turn right off the exit ramp onto Higgins, the VERY FIRST right you can make is the entrance, the first brown line you see off higgins into the forest preserve, not even 1/4 of a mile once you turn right off the ramp. I said this many times but I think people keep forgetting. Those that were there last year know this already.

Once everyone meets up then you can probably cruise and find another area but this is the best meet up spot that we all (locals) know of for Busse!!!

If someone is better at Paint or PS they can make the lines showing you exiting off 290 onto the ramp and turning right into Busse if they want..

ok, I'm not sorting through 15 pages of banter for an answer.

Food - are you going somewhere? bringing your own? someone buying and grilling (have people donate $$ to the cause)?

[Metallman56]

the way i see it is every man for themselves for food. and if you want to bring sonething thats fine to

[UNCTYPE-S]

this has turned into the most confuzzled thread ever.

Just spray paint a lower intake manifold gasket lime green or orance and hang it on a tree next to the entrance. then you will know it's the grand am meet.

[dsk727]

I am bored at work so yeah I took the map from the first page and made a nice little line from 290 onto Higgins turning into the park, and the "X" is the exact spot we met last year and there was tons of parking!!! It's gay I made it with paint but hell I am trying to help you all out. Some one is gonna get lost no matter what you do!
