Diane and I heading more towards Kentucky, but if weather dictates, we will be going more west.  Ahh, the beauty of being Westy folks.  If Illinois lands on our radar, we'll look for you in our '87.  White with '85 looking headlight setup, MA plates.
Have fun chasing the eclipse.  Keep an updated version of the Rescue database in the unlikely event you need help.

We are heading out from N. Indiana in the '87 (stock 2.1) to S, Illinois to view the Eclipse in the Shawnee Nat'l Forest.  Got our approved eclipse glasses and praying to the Bus gods to get us there and back.  Just changed out all fuel lines/fitting, new brake lines and fittings, new distributor, injectors reconditioned and new metal GoWesty fuel rails on.  Also sporting a Blaze Cut suppression system on the engine deck lid.

Anybody else heading in that direction?
