How do I get there ?

The actual address will probably not be in your GPS unit. The intersection at the northeast corner of the farm is
Saddleclub Road
and
Log Cabin Lane
Bonnie
, IL
(or Opdyke or Belle Rive depending on your GPS unit)

From I-57 go east on I-64 at exit 92. Get off at exit 80 and take Illinois Highway 37 south 4 miles to County Road 600N also known as Saddle Club Road. Go east almost 5 miles and turn right in the drive at Grandpa Robert's

Ideas for 2008

We've been tossing around ideas. Feel free to email me your ideas or add them as comments. Here are some of the ideas that have been lobbed up in the air:

  • Make a reunion geocache ( For an article about it see http://www.greenriverstar.com/articles/2007/08/22/people/people1.txt )
  • For the auction everyone should make up a basket of items from their home area. For instance we from the West Union area might include a Moonshine Store coffee cup, a bottle of Mullens dressing, and a Heath bar.
  • Roast a pig. OK, so the vegetarians among us didn't bring this one up. And I see logistical problems. But it's an idea so let's throw it against the wall and see if it sticks.
  • What is your idea? Let me know and I'll put it here.

Bumpus Reunion 2008

Ever try too hard? I wanted to set up a web site for the reunion so info could be posted, etc. I looked at web sites, even signed up for a free one. Could not get it to work, Bob could get it to come up and do it's thing from Memphis, but it just did not work for me.

I got to thinking "Dummy, you are trying too hard" I signed up for a blog on Google and here we are ... took me 1 minute and 27 seconds.

I'll keep working on the web site, but for now this will serve us well.
