Cool!
That's a nice drive from where you're coming from.I know of a few additional members are a little more local than you BLIMP. Hope they can make it too.
I just think it is awesome that Monacucamonga is now on the road again. I rescued that car quite a few years ago now from a salvage yard in Virginia just because I was having such a hard time finding a 71 Monaco at all. But I finally did find another one to restore closer to what I was looking for in terms of a power train. So I was ecstatic that Wyatt was interested in the car to rescue it given he has the right skills to do the job. Excellent Wyatt to see it cruising the roads where it belongs!!!

The car is just excellent Steve!I just think it is awesome that Monacucamonga is now on the road again.

I also think about how amazing it is to see two 71 Monacos cruising down the road together in this day and age, both owners know each other well and everyone in the party having a great time. Thats the way it should be. 
We made it to Georgie Porgie’s and connected with @70 Sport Suburban and his Dad. And then a ‘72 GY4 Imperial showed up!

CATL turned out to be a full day of cruising the back roads around WI, having lunch at the Pabts Brewery historic district, going places around Milwaukee and later to the car show in Racine was a fun way to spend a Saturday with some friends.
I met up with everyone in the tiny town of Slades Corners.
Only waited a short time until the caravan showed up....
We weren't on the road for long when I gave @LocuMo a call on his cell to let him know he was about to lose his tire iron.
After a quick stop, we were back on the road...
This pic reminds me of 2 cars getting ready to "floor it" as soon a the light changes to green...
We found a place near the Pabst Brewery district to grab some pics of the cars just before lunch...
Back on the road, heading towards Racine to meet up with Manny at the car show at Georgie Porgie's ...

Here's a couple pics of our C bodies at the Lake...
Back on the road again, heading south..
Right after these pics Wyatt & Michel headed towards Rockford and Scott & I went south back to Illinois.
20 years from now, if we all still know one another, we might be sayin, "Remember to time we drove up to Milwaukee together, and.......".
Days like these are what memories are meant for.

Sorry to have missed this event, especially since this was in my "stomping ground"...but family obligations kept me home - it was our grandson's birthday celebration. 2nd annual cruise - count me in!
