HERDSTOCK! - UPDATE - Please check in if you're still coming....

I was actually really surprised to see it's only 9 1/2 hours for us. Probably still too far of a drive for us though. It does sound like fun though. You all have a great time!!

Oh come on Rolls, you don't have a full on hotel?

Yeah, if it happens, I would expect we would stay in a Hotel.

Well if we wait til September should be plenty of time to get a little mini bed & breakfast built on your property

Aggie - I was thinking about you also. I am fine with driving, just not sure our van can do it. But if we could rent a mini-van and take 6, that could be good and relatively inexpensive. Would have to stay a night or two maybe? Drive out Friday, Herdstock on Saturday and Drive home on Sunday?

I'll have to talk to DH about it. If he wanted to go (probably not crazy about meeting strangers 11 hours away) he'd want to drive our own car by ourselves. He's weird about carpooling because he always feels trapped! If he doesn't want to go, I'll have to figure out if I can get away (ya know, like take leave from work and stuff). I'll let you know!

If anyone has a camper, we're also close to several campgrounds.....

I have access to a Sienna that would make the trip nicely.


Kim, what is your opinion on pop up tents. Or do you know of a local camp ground? I totally understand you not want a pop up mushroom farm appearing in your yard overnight.

This place is 1 mi. from us.

Perfect. I emailed them to find out their "throw a tent somewhere" policy.

I'm in east central Illinois. Approx 3 hrs and 29 min from Roll's, unless we hit rush hour traffic around Indy then it feels like 4 years. You are welcome to ride along or follow.
There's a swap meet in Kankakee IL. First Sunday of every month and there is the Rockville IN auction which is kinda on the way. I'll have to check into when they sell
Actually anyone coming from the so Illinois area or Missouri-Kansas area is welcome.
