That is why we take the around town way---we could sit on the pavement for who knows how long--or we can keep moving and not getting the VAN overheated and all.....
Just checking to see if you considered the traffic issue... and if you do cross onto Rt 12--there is a great wine and cheese shop just over the border to the east side of the road---one of our favorite stops on the way up!

I have some club brothers coming out to the nationals and thought MAYBE if someone had some for sale they could possibly bring them babies home. | | | Re: 40th Van Nationals July 11-15, 2012 Wisconsin | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 2,841 veteran | veteran Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 2,841 | Suzie yep I did consider the traffic that is why I'm asking if anyone from that area knows of a way around it. Thanks for the info on the wine and cheese shop though. What's the name?

But we always stop! I believe they have some snack items too--a nice pit stop for a nosh.

To bottom line it, north of the city, tollway is the fastest | | | Re: 40th Van Nationals July 11-15, 2012 Wisconsin | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 6,261 Bad Girls from New York, Bad Western Inn in IN. | Bad Girls from New York, Bad Western Inn in IN.

It is called the International House of Wine and Cheese (there is a facebook page) (there is a cafe) 11302 US Highway 12 Richmond IL some reviews say the cheese case is a little small--but I think for on the way in, it serves the purpose just fine. Also, there will be more on the way.
so--it is just south of the WI/IL border-- state line, international--all is French for this NY Bad Girl! hee hee
