I'm interested, if it's a weekend I can go.

Antioch doesn't have weekend trains.  And there is a limited number of trains that originate in Kenosha on the weekends.  (Most trains originate in Waukegan on weekends.)

True.  I just wanted people to know about the reduced number of Kenosha<->Chicago trains on weekends so you can plan accordingly.

There's a 6:57 pm departure from Winthrop Harbor that would work going home on Sunday. Slingshoting out Saturday would involve either a really early train (6:35 from OTC) or getting there midafternoon. So I'm going to propose ride out Saturday, and take the 6:57 home on Sunday.

Firm dates set? Do we need reservation for camp ground?

Just a feeler. My July is quite full.

Anyone have a preference for a weekend in August for this?

Either weekend works for me. Although the second option seems to be going back in time

Since August 10 is the Gurrellia Floatilla, I'm thinking either the weekend of Aug 17-18 or Aug 24-15.
