I was harassing you about not getting there from Cleveland.
I doubt we'll be back that way for awhile - it was a one time trip. But who knows.

All the (Chicago) more reason a (Chicago) fun, central, Midwest location is best. You know (Chicago) something like (Chicago) oh, I don't know, Chicago might work. I don't know if I mentioned that before....


Or......Detroit? That's pretty far East...and West.....

Ya know...for the first time in my life I actually visited Chitown this summer. We camped at Indiana Dunes and took the train from the state park to Chitown...we took our girls to American Girl and dropped their college funds buying them DOLLS! (j/k but CLOSE).

I was VERY impressed with Chitown...they had the taste of Chicago going on...we did Navy pier...it was over the July 4th weekend...we got to see fireworks...the market square thingy stuff and kidney shaped HUGE mirror!!!...VERY NICE CITY!!!

Have you ever camped at Indiana Dunes?...we'll be heading back there next year for sure!!!

joe.

What he said! That big polished "Bean" is Stainless Steel Baby! Staying at the "Dunes" is roughly 40 miles from Downtown Chicago by expressway (roughly 50 minutes drive off rush hour). Parking may be an issue...Mine fits underground with about 6" clearance. If you're lifted, you won't fit in the underground parking available.

However, I didn't mean we had to all meet right Downtown -- just cruise it at some point and scare people with our monstrocities. Heck, some might even gather and protest us for a while. Tell me THAT wouldn't be fun!

Rte 66 raceway has all sorts of racing events including demolition derby's and lot's of dirt type recreation -- with lots of parking above ground. That's not too far outside the city either. Just ideas.

Detroit has the Ford plant. That might be fun too.
