Who is interested in doing the last leg, from Bettendorf IA to the Dells? June 12-13 this year.
It's a 4 hour drive to Bettendorf on the freeway from Milwaukee, then a 2-1/2 hour drive from there to the Dells. I'm really hoping I can get off work (unfortunately it falls on a "vacation blackout" week for me, so I'd have to find someone to cover). I'd really like to go to Bettendorf and stay the night on the 12th, then drive with the group on the 13th up to the Dells, and home that night.
It's $80 to register, and it looks like you can still find rooms in Bettendorf for under $100 for the night. The Bettendorf party takes place at the Isle Casino- and it looks like they still have "economy" rooms available, and in the Dells at Chula Vista.
Anyone done the Tour before? What are the "events" like?
On one hand I'm hoping the RX7 is up to the task, I've driven it to Fond Du Lac and to Kenosha without issue but that was a couple years ago, and I've made some changes since then. On the other hand if my brother is going to take the SuperBee maybe I should just tag along in my Focus as a "support" vehicle- it would be nice to have at least one reliable vehicle along for the ride.
