Gary, IN?

My friends and I are planning a bike trip around the coastline of Michigan in August. On the first leg of our trip were considering riding the dunes hwy (12) straight through Gary, IN. I was curious if anyone else has made this ride and would recommend it? Is it THAT unsafe? Should we stay out of Gary like the Blue Chip Casino security guard in Michigan City, warned us. "I'm an ex-cop! And I don't go anywhere near Gary[,IN] without at least TWO guns!"

We could get a bunch of guns, but they'd be so heavy!

Also, anyone have any friends or family that might be able to host bikers for a night of our journey, let us know!

Love,

Matt Kwain

Miller is pretty cool. I went to the MBC a few years back, and it was indeed a great meal.

And there are gems in Gary to be discovered: On the way back, go instead to the Miller Bakery Cafe a block away in Miller Beach for one of the best gourmet meals you'll ever get in the midwest.
