Might slip over this weekend,anyone have good directions to the Lindendale Park?? -From 70 westbound-Many thanks.

HOA:

The exit you want is #24 - IL 143. Go into Highland

looking at this map should show you the way. This show has not been there for a while. As I recall there is a 2-story building. About 10-15 years ago both floors would have been full of tables of guns.

You should pass the Rural King!

good luck.

BC--Thanks---should have known you would be "the man".I had vague directions-you know how that goes Rolling Eyes

HOA:

No worries - let us know what you find.

I am going to shoot skeet in the am tomorrow at Town and Country in Maryville (in the 11 degree weather Shocked

- lots of stress to relieve this week) and then head up the river with the Boss to look at the Bald Eagles that congregate this time of year.

If you report a good show (and leave anything Wink

) I might zip over Sunday.

the ISRA web sight gives dates and locations for all the notable Illinois gun shows and a map for most of them. The Highland gunshow is listed and has a "map" link for those unfamiliar with the location.

Map on ISRA web site was "Map Quest" but at the city level.

It gives you street names if you zoom in and everything to the State level if you zoom out.

If that is any more vagure than your verbal description of hoiw to get there I'll eat my hat!
