Although there has been little response to the meeting on the 17th, the wife and I are planning to make the drive. We will be in the parking lot of the Walgreens at the intersection of Hwy 367 and Parker Rd. For those with GPS the location is north, 38 degrees 47 minutes and west 90 degrees 13 minutes. If you approach the area from the south you MUST take the first exit north of I-270 and follow the service road north.

We plan the leave the Walgreens at 11:30 am and drive 367 north to Alton then follow the river road to Grafton and Pere Marquette State park.

Hope to see several Smarts.

Had a great time at the lodge. I was really glad to meet other smart owners. Funny thing, I got turned around at the lodge while leaving..took my own advice and turned on the GPS and found my way quickly.

I even saw a bumble bee smart on her way to the casino as I left.

It was a wonderful drive. Not the smallest get together with 3 of us, I've had a few 2 car meetings... I still think it was great. The great river road is an awesome drive to just do. A week later and I bet the trees would have looked even prettier. That's why you saw me putting along. I was in no hurry enjoying the view! I saw the bumblebee lady too at the light before the bridge turn on. I seen her before last I was in Alton. It's people like that I wish we could get! We call them Wild smarts...gotta catch them!

Just got our passion Tuesday and just love it already. It was purchased mainly because we needed a Toad for the motor home. Now, no other car has been out on the road except it. Just went to Walmart and you can sure get a lot in there.

Welcome to the world of SMART! Hope to see you at a get together. And yes - even with a SMART you can haul a lot home from Wal-Mart.
