I like the sound of that. it doesnt seem that too many of us are 'quiet campers'. Someone wanna call em, ask if they can accommodate anywhere between 20 and 40 ppl? and how soon they would need reservations, and how reservations need to be secured.

we have less than a month's time, and that time will pass quickly so lets get planning

It's already reserved for the 18th with the last people leaving on the 21st. (Seriously.) All they ask is that if we end up changing plans we call them, and that when we get there we check in with the bartender so we can sign the ledger and pay our $7.50. They have us down for 40 people but say they've easily accommodated groups of 60 before.

I wonder what will happen if this group doesn't have to worry about getting in trouble from Park Rangers?

A film crew should really come in tow.

Could we get a route from TC? i believe that he leads a ride down here every year.

For those less ambitious or not physically up to a ride from Joliet, Amtrak to Mendota, IL will bring you w/i 20+ miles of the park. It's an easy ride from Mendota to Starved Rock. Amtrak charges $10/bike and $10 for o/w ticket.

Downside: Not as picturesque as a ride along the I&M Canal.
Upside: More time riding in and around the park (which is very picturesque) Though anyone know about restrictions on biking in the park? I know there are some.
