Yeah whatever the name of the expressway is, that's where we went by at and then got off at the next exit. So they were intrigued from the highway. Our cross country team went up with parents to the FootLocker Midwest race. Every team should go there! It's a great experience.

Can anyone make an educated guess as to how many weeks it will take for the construction to be finished, and then another guess as to when it will be all done testing and everything?

If everything goes smoothly I would say testing will begin in April.I am hoping to god it gets a little ahead of schedule so its running during the private outings. (Especially Advocate Health Day)
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
