If anyone would like to meet John and at the Wendy's in Bowlingbrook at the I-55/IL-53 interchange we'll be there around 745 to grab some gas and food before continuing to the Cliffs. We'll be leaving there at 8:15 sharp.

Space was referring to if you wanted to ride along with someone else.  Plenty of room for more vehicles.
