Come join the Chicago Region G.O.A.T.S. (Get Out and Tour Series) on Saturday, May 6, for another fun drive through southern Wisconsin on some of the most scenic backroads there are to enjoy. You’ll have the chance to see old friends, make new ones and have fun with your car. 

The starting point is the Flying J Travel Center, 16049 Willowbrook Road, South Beloit, Ill., 61080 (the northwest corner of I-90/39 and Illinois Rt. 75) by the Denny’s restaurant. Check-in will open at 9 a.m., with the first car off promptly at 10 a.m. 

The drive will take approximately 3 hours to complete, ending In Lena, Illinois, at The Rafters restaurant, where we will all meet for lunch and some socializing. After lunch, if you like you can visit the Lena Brewing Company and the Red Barn gift shop both on the same property as the restaurant.
