Go to Mapquest.com and get directions from your house to the above address... From the NW Burbs it's about an hour and a half...

All of us from illinois should follow each other there. I could meet Conrad and Angel at Naperville/Auora and then meet you city people somewere else.
Oh another thing, doesn't look like I will have the suspension done before the meet. The springs and struts are still sitting in my apartment.

man i sooooo cant wait. im at midway airport and would gladly meet the napervillians and aurora folks somewhere, im right off I55 and they're probably ganna shoot down that, maybe not passed 294 but places to meet, other than gas stations, dont really come to mind.

we could just coordinate me speeding on the highway at ~10:39:30am cst and playing catchup, heh.

According to Mapquest, it is 108 miles (2 hours) for me. They way that seems easiest is I-88 to I-294 south to I-80 east. That is the way that I would take. Which means everyone on that path can follow us in. If Conrad and Angel are still going. I am not that familar with the places around there but Pat and Bijou-mp5 could meet us at the I-88/I-355 ramps??? I wish I had the springs and struts on by then.
Ok here is where we are starting the list. (In Illinois) I need to know if you are going and where you live so we can get all together.
I am in

central location

Indiana Dunes
1100 North Mineral Springs Rd.
Porter, IN 46304

I think right off 94 going into indiana are various shopping malls (like the abandoned one in Harvey IL) that have huge, empty parking lots. They're right off I80 (180th st)/I94 about 30 minutes from the loop, almost half-way to the dunes.

People:

I think before you go too much further, you need to pick a TIME and an EXACT LOCATION in the Dunes, especially if you want people from other states to come to this...I mean, that was kind of the point, right?

But yes, I'm in.

Chicago, Belmont/Lake Shore

What do you say to 2:00 on the 21st? That will give people who are trying to ride together time to meet up first.

okay, here's another idea:

Arul, or anybody else familiar with the Dunes area--

Is there a place NEAR the Dunes where we could meet up first, and then all head over there together to choose a location?

By a meeting-up spot, I mean like a fast food joint, mall, etc. on a major highway that would be easy for all of us to find.

We could hang there for a set amount of time to allow for late-comers, and then ride together over to the Dunes. Kinda like we did when we met up at Streets of Woodfield before the last two Chicago-area meets.

Time is slipping away...let's get this thing together.
