<p>A few more miles west on Glacial Drumlin is the Rome River campground that's not bad for a night. I've stopped there twice heading from Chicago to Madison.</p>

<p>I've done a couple of S24O trips to Illinois Beach State Park. Since I'm coming from Milwaukee, I find that there's a fairly decent string of trails I can take there, starting with the Oak Leaf Trail, the KRM in Racine Co.,the Pike Trail in Kenosha Co., and the Robert McClory Trail in Lake Co. This weekend, I'm planning another S24O from Milwaukee to Kettle Moraine State Forest-Southern Unit.

<p>I just did my second trip to Pinewoods Campground in Kettle Moraine State Forest South this year. The first trip to Pinewoods was this past May when I met up with my fellow Chainlinkers who came up from Harvard, IL. As for me, I took the Hank Aaron State Trail, the New Berlin Recreational Trail, and the Glacial Drumlin State Trail as far as Hwy. 67. This last trip, I took a new tent along because my old blue tent broke a pole on the first trip and I couldn't find a replacement pole. …</p>

Thanks to Tank Ridin' Ryan for bailing me out with his temporary sleeve. I bought a Eureka Tetragon 5 2-person dome tent at Dunham's in Cudahy for only $75.

Thanks Ryan, I hope that you can use it! All of the additions from folks in this discussion were great. I didn't know about a lot of these county-run camping locations. They sound really great.<br/><br/><cite>Tank-Ridin' Ryan said:</cite>

<p>My favorite ride that I did last year was taking the Metra out to Harvard and then biking up to Kettle Morraine State Park in Wisconsin. I ended up doing the ride twice and enjoyed it both times. The riding is almost all through rural areas with low traffic and nicely varied terrain. There is also a pretty decent swimming beach at Whitewater. I stayed two nights, but most of the group who joined us, just came for one. I did a pretty general write up here:…</p>
