Anyone Wanna Ride to Indiana Dunes?

I'm thinking we could leave early on a Saturday, stay the night, and then head back Sunday afternoon. It's about 50 miles, so probably take 5 hours or so. I've never ridden it, so if anyone has a path or suggestions, post em!

Maybe last weekend in May or First in June...?

I would like to meet up in person to discuss all this - Im down for Tuesday night around 10. I work late so I might be there around 1030 or so. - I dont have a tent and would be ok with sleeping outside, Im assuming this means I dont have to reserve a site? ill just throw down cash on whoevers place im crashing.

I don't know if I can go but I can let you guys borrown an awesome hammock I have and some other camping stuff.

Hammocks are good....I'd sleep outside, not a problem...plus do you think they'll really count that only 6 people are at each site.

and hammocks are not a bad idea actually, as long as someone doesnt mind...er...hanging like that. there are some great bivy options like that available. its likely that park rangers wouldnt think someone is in them. and the obvious...but...i hope there are trees to accommodate.

Totes...Thank you guys for all that you're doing to make it happen!!!
So REI doesn't rent carts, but they do rent tents and sleeping bags for relatively cheap. I believe for 1 night it's $28 for 4 person tent, then second day you have it it's $10 more a day....Not bad!
