[DML] DMC Club picnic and the former AG Becker estate

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Delorean Midwest Connection club picnic was this past Saturday
and a big thanks goes out to Tony and Robin Swann for inviting our
bunch of Delorean fanatics out to their family's summer home, the
former AG Becker estate, on nearly 20 acres of beautiful gardens,
bluffs, woodlands and private beach, over-looking Lake Michigan.
This will go down as one of our clubs premier events of all time.

As Marvin mentioned with the Woodward Cruise, this past Saturday
in Chicago was picture perfect, 100% sunshine, 75 degrees, very 
low humidity and a gentle lake breeze made for ideal weather for
a picnic.  Sitting in the backyard or on the beach was tranquil,
except for the occasional jet fighter passing by on its way to
the Chicago Air Show about 20 miles south, near North Ave. beach.

We had our Deloreans parked on the circular driveway in front of
the house, which made for excellent photo opportunities for all.
And if the surroundings were not already special enough, the food
certainly exceeded everyone's expectations.  Burgers, brats, corn
on the cob, hotdogs and a few other things started it all off,
with plenty of side dishes and enough variety of beverages to
keep everyone happy and hydrated.  However, who can forget the
desserts, including a delicious chocolate cake with an airbrushed
photo of a Delorean on it.  Outstanding!! (thanks Jay)  No one
dared to leave hungry or thirsty.

I will be putting some photos together for Dave S. to post on the
DMC News website under the Gatherings section, so if you missed
all the food and fun, or just want to re-live it again, I hope to
have some photos posted up there soon.

If you are not a member of the Delorean Midwest Connection club,
please note we have an upcoming Fall Tech Session and the British
Car Union events coming up on Sept. 11 and 12.  Check out the club
website for more details.  http://www.delorean-midwest.org
