Sat Jan 4, Starved Rock Winter Hike 10:45 am Join us for a hike through the St Peter Sandstone Formations and waterfalls of Starved Rock Park. Our naturalist guide will lead the hike and share information about the area, history, the canyons, river and more. Depending on conditions, we could see the beauty of the frozen waterfalls and snow drenched woodlands. This year our hike will proceed on the St Louis canyon trail. This happens to be one of the most favorite hikes in the park and entails about 3 miles of hiking round trip.

We’ll meet at the Main Lodge desk at 10:45am. The hike begins at 11 am sharp and should finish up around 1-1.30pm, at which time we will break for lunch and a brew. The hike fee is $20 for the guide and includes: Starved Rock swag, some treats, and a coupon for coffee or hot cocoa from the café. Those interested can enjoy lunch and a brew after the hike, whether it be in the Backdoor Lounge or the Lodge restaurant. We only have reservations for 20 people, so come on out and enjoy the hike, or just the lunch.

If anybody wants to skip the hike and meet us for lunch, no problem! Please let me know if interested in lunch only, and we’ll see you there. Make sure you are prepared for the hike and dress accordingly with good hiking shoes and layers. Secure your spot by calling the lodge (815 220-7386) and paying the $20 fee. The group is reserved under Piccadilly Ski Club. Please email me so I know to expect you there (jfosullivan56@att.net).

Reservations are registered only when payment is made. So, if you have signed up on meetup make sure your payment has been registered at the Starved Rock Lodge phone number. Let me know by email when you have paid. The first paid responders and sign-ups for lunch will be on the list. Looking forward to seeing you on the trail! jfosullivan56@att.net - John

Sun Jan 19, Happy Hour, Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar from 2-4 pm. 1775 W. 22nd Street,

Oak Brook. It’s time for another one of Piccadilly’s Happy Hours! This time it’s a new location - The Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar - serving handcrafted American food and drink with seasonally inspired ingredients. Influenced by the lifestyle of the Rocky Mountains where Founder Chris Simms spent time with family growing up, Lazy Dog offers a full bar that includes unique and approachable specialty cocktails and a wide selection of craft beers. There will also be 2 NFL Divisional playoff games that day. Times and teams yet TBD They have 2 TVs on the patio.

Our club stopped into Lazy Dog previously, (after the Halloween Scary stories at Mayslake a few months ago) and had some great reviews.

We have reservations for the Patio, which will be in the outside enclosure with a huge fireplace to add to the ambience. The manager says, “it gets toasty out there, even if it’s 20 degrees”. It sounds like their heaters will be cranking for us. Plus, the TVs will provide us an opportunity to keep abreast of our favorite playoff team. It doesn’t get much better than this!

Piccadillians can even bring their dog on a leash (not allowed on your lap). There will be a “Cutie Pie Dog contest” and winner will get a prize! There are dog meals available for purchase - 2 different meals for 5$ each - for your furry best friend. Let’s get a great turnout and fill the Patio!

Come join your PSC friends for an early afternoon of socializing, football and watching the fire. Sign up is on meetup to give our host an idea of our party size.

Any questions can be directed to John O @ jfosullivan56@att.net
