I just got off the phone from talking to the desk clerk at the Super 8 Motel, Marion IL. I was told that they are booked full for satruday night and have no rooms, so I will have to find another place to stay.

If Illinois wasn't such a long state !! :twisted:

It's a longer drive then you guys think it is. Atleast a 5 hour drive and thats going 75 mph. Maybe i'll have my licence by then and drive down there myself.
