Agincourt Concierge said - we did look a bit like pumpkins in our orange shirts.
Andy and I took the wrong ramp on the highway at Chicago - we stopped at a 7-11 to get our bearings and knew we were really lost when we saw a sign for Chicago O'Hare Airport. Anyway, long story short, after much sweating and gnashing of teeth we eventually found out way and continued to follow the path of "The Beam". Unfortunately that, combined with traffic delays due to construction and having to work a full day on Wednesday before departing all contributed to our late arrival.
I took a photo of a "Tower" while passing Chicago and there was a big truck with a Maine license plate (number plate for kingzep) so I guess that was a good sign and helped me feel better.
Everyone was lovely in Ohio - after the whole group had left, Andy and I went exploring a bit on our own. He has lots of photos in his camera which he will try to download onto our desktop but for now here is one from my camera:
p.s. We took the Sunday afternoon tour (just Andy and me) and we chose the "Hollywood" tour. By the way, I did hear Scott's recording and it sounds eerily like a small boy's voice speaking.
On our Sunday tour we saw the Vintage Baseball Team dressed in costumes and playing baseball from 2 until 4 p.m. They said they played 1863 rules, meaning "no baseball gloves, protective equipment etc."

Tracy took this pic. It is the only one that is small enough (in KBs) - the others will have to be resized.
