    The weather forecast looks grim, but I will show up at the Lock #14 parkinglot, for the people who do not RSVP "NO". I think we can not walk in the rain, wind and cold weather predicted. I will also reschedule this walk soon. I think it is better to RSVP "NO" than to endure the exceptionally harsh conditions

    Is this trip still on? Looks like the weather will be quite unpleasant.

    If anyone is driving out from the northside (I'm in Edgewater), and has room for one more, I'd sure appreciate a lift (and be happy to ante up for gas).

    Would anyone like to carpool and meet at the Streets of Woodfield in Schaumburg close to 90? I can drive or I can chip in for gas if someone drives me. =)
