Cushing is an old school 2,800 grass north-south strip in the middle of farm country about 45 NM south-west of Chicago. This will be an all-day gathering, so come whenever and hang out! We are planning a cookout at noon.
If you are coming from far away or just would like to spend an evening under the stars, you are welcome to camp overnight. Bathroom facilities are available but no showers. There are no stores or restaurants within walking distance so plan accordingly.
There is no rain date planned and we will call it the day before if it looks like there will be weather issues.
To help us plan for food, and to get notification on weather, please RSVP via email. If you have any questions, post it on the 120-140 site, email or call me.
We look forward to seeing everyone!
