Looking for some place to go that's not a 3 hour drive.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Not to much that is legit. A few spots along the tracks in the Burnham area, around Wolf lake, the Cliffs (Mersailles IL). The Great lakes area (clickable in my sig) is having it's 2nd Fall Colors (easy family stuff) the 17th and 18th of Oct. That's one of the crappy things about living in Chicago.

Come to Badlands this Sunday.... It's only 2.8hrs.......

Sunday is a bad day to wheel this time of year. I guess that's why there's ESPN Radio.

There better not be a place near you. Flapjack and you would be holding back if there was one.

Some dude in a Sahara was staring at mine today at Ridge Mall, and I told him "One day yours will grow up like mine."
