Showing Some Love to our Hoosier Friends

That's right our neighbors to the east have always kept a wary eye on Tinley Track & Trail to make sure we weren't doing any special training that they could steal as their own.

Well we are going to return the favor and hit the Dunes on Saturday and see what they could dish out.

Two meeting place options:

Take I-80 E to Halstead South. Take that to the Menards parking lot which will be on the east side of the street just past the first light. A bunch of us our meeting there and we'll carpool to the dunes. Meet at 7:00 a.m.. If you're coming leave a message on the blog.

Go straight to the dunes - Directions are pretty easy. Take interstate 80 east to highway 49 north in Chesterton. Where highway 49 ends is the Indiana Dunes State Park gate. Go in the gate and follow the signs to the nature center. Meet at the nature center parking lot. Usually at that time of the morning there isn't a ranger at the gate, but it is possible there could be one to charge admission. I don't know what out of state cost. In state is $5. Be there by 7:45

Either way if your coming leave a note on the blog.

Altogether we'll run about 12-14 of some beautiful scenic trails along the lake.

Greetings Land of Lincoln Lovers:

You are all cordially invited to sample some of Northwest Indiana's finest trails........the Dunes.

You have the directions, we have the "plan", so come one and all.

No whiniers though. This won't be some pamby-bamby Lemont run.

Better get a good nights rest.... and carbo up!

I have an evil monkey in my closet and he's getting ready to hit the dunes.

Oops, change of plans. Woke up with a sore throat so I opted for a shorter local run.
