With just one week left until the reservation
deadline, the bus is filling up for the Mound City
Archaeological Society's field trip to Illinois on
Saturday, June 23.

For just $65 per person, this trip features Archeology
Day in Kampsville in the morning, with lunch at the
Riverdock Restaurant in Hardin, followed by an
afternoon visit to the Lewis and Clark Museum in
Hartford.

Some of you have asked for a more detailed pick-up and
drop-off schedule. We've firmed that up as best we
can, but please keep in mind that the times given are
approximate and may need to be tweaked a bit once we
get a better idea of how our "day-trippers" are
distributed around the metro area.

Our South County pick-up/drop-off point is the
commuter lot at Reavis Barracks and I-55, our West
County location is the MetroBus lot at Ballas and
I-64, and our North County stop is at the Lilac/I-270
commuter lot. Illinois passengers can meet the bus at
either the North or South County lots, whichever is
more convenient for them.

Here's our probable pick-up plan:

7:15am - depart South County
7:45am - depart West County
8:15am - depart North County

And here's our developmental drop-off docket:

16:45 - arrive North County
17:15 - arrive West County
17:45 - arrive South County

Remember, the deadline for reservations is Wednesday,
June 6, so if you want to go, please make your check
payable to the Mound City Archaeological Society and
mail it TODAY to:

Mrs. Carol Baluka, Treasurer
220 Downing Ave
Florissant MO 63031-6330
