Yup, that was me. It would have been REALLY cool if you would have flagged me down as I got lost as hell lol. Stupid detours...

Steve - Yeah I got home ok around 10. I figured out if you follow 4th ALL the way and then turn left when you have to (it eventually dead ends), it kicks you out on 67 outside of davenport lol. Ran a few stop signs, and slid through another. Couldnt see ****. It was a blast lol.

Hey also ALL: I think we should go ahead and pick another place as Old Chicago although most likely wont be flooded in 2 weeks, WILL need repairs done to it after the water goes away so not really sure on wether or not it will be open for business. I am thinking Chili's would be ok as it is on higher ground. OR we can just simply meet in the mall (Coral Ridge) like in front of Sears or something and we can decide what to do from there... Whatever we do I am cool with it. Just kicking out some ideas.

Blade: We should meet up at 4 Corners like usual.

Zeke: As long as the water goes down you SHOULD be able to take I-80. If not, it will take so long to get there that it probably wouldnt be worth it... Should be ok though.

yeah well have to see what parts of Iowa city are accessible and if everyone can even travel there after the bridges open up. Cedar Rapids and Iowa city have been heavily damaged and some parts wont be re opened for several weeks.

Chili's is right next to the mall, and Steak & Shake is "across the street" so to speak from the mall. Applebees is basically in the same place as chilis. Also there is Buffalo Wild Wings and Texas Road House, which are just north of the mall a couple blocks. I personally dont care, although if we decide to all meet up and figure a place out, then we should be meeting at like 11 and be to the place by 11:30 so we beat the rush.

If anyone thinks they may be late PM me and I will give you my cell number and I can fill you in on the current happenings as far as where we are and directions on how to get there.

I am leaning towards 435 personally. As far as price for BWW I have no idea as I havent eaten there before either. I wouldnt think it would be too bad. Of course, they have those angry girlfriend and boss sensors so there may be a slight squeeze to the pocket...
