  • July 23 Galena/Dubuque overnite cruise/lunch/shopping/dinner/casino

    Johnny and I went over some details and have put together an overnight cruise for the club.

    If you are interested, YOU WILL HAVE TO BOOK YOUR ROOM EARLY SPRING
    AND SIGN UP FOR THIS NOW!!!
    We honestly need to get a good assessment on the interest early on for this to be successful.
    if we do not get sufficient interest, it will be cancelled so sign up and make plans to go. Committ !
    If the weather turns out to be iffy, I plan on still going and taking my daily driver.

    Cruise To Galena/Dubuque
    July 23' Saturday morning 9:00 sharp
    BreakfasBreakfast location chosen for the route there.
    730 Lynford, Rockford, Il
    Right off the State St exit at Cracker Barrel in Rockford at 10:00

    On the road again by 11:00
    Arrival Galena at 12:30

    Lunch location will be an establishment in Galena, probably of your choice. It will be hard to keep people together for lunch and dinner I figure but that could change once we get there. We could all go to Happy Jos for Pizza if you like or pick a place on main street for a light meal.


    Shopping/Sightseeing on your own before and after lunch

    Dubuque also has the river museum and aquarium. Or you can take a river cruise. Or you can book a reservation for Horseback Riding at Shenandoah Stables.

    Then on to Dubuque which is 20 minutes down Route 20 further West

    Hotel will Be Best Western Plus INN, in Dubuque, Iowa
    It has the largest parking lot and compares in quality to the others in town for quality without going crazy on prices.
    There are some better with No parking and many that are worse.
    rooms are $112 non refundable or -141 refundable per night those are INTERNET prices it is cheaper to book on ther Internet then calling them !!
    It's address is 3100 Dodge St, Dubuque, Iowa
    Phone number is


    Dinner will be at Timmermans Supper Club
    Time 7:00
    It's address is 7777 Timmerman Dr., East Dubuque, Iowa
    It is closer to Dubuque then Galena
    We currently have reservations for 35 so we have room for the list to grow.

    Then off to the Diamond Jo Casino located at 301 Bell St Dubuque, Iowa
    If you don't want to go to the casino, Dubuque has movie theatres and night clubs as well.

    Leave time for the Cruise will be ;
    9:00 A.M. sharp
    1st meet point will be
    Randall Road Shell Station just 1/2 mile North of the Northwest Tollway

    2nd pick up point will be the Belvidere Oasis at 9:30

    After we get there participants will have all afternoon to walk around Galena and do some shopping or check out some sight seeing at some historic places like General Grants Home ect.

    Return trip home will be Sunday after breakfast for those who want to travel with the group back.

    Sunday Breakfast location to be determined later . I would like to do the Golden Hen on Main Street or the Hotel Restaurant called Woodlands at Eagle Inn Hotel in the Territory for Breakfast if we can.
    If necessary we could divide the return trip into two groups early risers and late risers.

    The Route there and back will be the Northwest tollway to Route 20 all the way in.

            Sign me up for 2. Already made our hotel reservation a few nights ago but forgot to post here. If I may make a suggestion... There's an awesome route from Galena through New Diggings, WI we should consider on the way to dinner in East Dubuque. It's about an hour drive. If interested I could supply a route map.

              you would be free to take any route you want of course to dinner, you may get a some guys like VernO to take that route with you. It's a short drive between Galena and Timmermans. About 20 minutes

              I myself will use the afternoon to look around town at a few places I want to revisit after lunch then check into my hotel before dinner so I can go straight to the casino after dinner and maybe hit a club before retiring.

                      Cool. I just can't see going to a hilly, twisty area and not taking a short cruise.
                      I just noticed dinner is at 7pm so it would make more sense to have the end point of the cruise be the hotel and not Timmermans.

                          Hilly, twisty. How could I not go?
                          My plan is to cruise up to Galena with everybody and have lunch.
                          Then go sightseeing with Xello and I'm sure others then head home.
                          It'll be a long day but fun as hell.
