The first one was awesome. It's a nice quiet cruise away from the major highways with some nice stops. Good way to get away from the high paced life for a day. The route changed a tad from the first one, but not by much. Also, this will be done as a poker run....my first attempt at this but I suspect it will work out well. Some sort of crappy prize will be awarded to the winner....This cruise will be semi-annual, once in the early part of the year, and at the end.
Start time: be there no later than 12:15, we leave @ 12:30 Date is Sunday September 28th
Meet In Chesterton Indiana(about 30 minutes from the IL border) at the K-Mart for the first card and work our way to US12 for some nice open low traffic mildly curvy road time.
-First stop is Beverly Hills Beach for some close to water pics and your second card. This also will be the location for our stone skipping contest....sounds lame but seriously was a ton of fun. Bracketed and all lol.
-Stop at Michigan City Skate Park Which is off of U.S.12 next to the Lighthouse Mall and next to the Nipsco electric plant Simpson tower for your third card lol. for those who want to meet up there. Gives us a chance for some pics :camera: or just general bullpooping. If you are coming from Michigan, you may receive additional cards to fill your hand...
-Card four is given at lunch. We will again be eating at Redamak's for some very delicious burgers and give those who haven't had a chance to mingle a chance to do so then.
-Our final stop is at Warren Dunes. You will receive your fifth card, at which point we will decided whom the winner is based off of the best hand. Warren Dunes is an awesome stop, great scenery and a beautiful beach with huge dunes in which you can race down(I'm sure we will have another race like last time for those interested.)
This isn't a super long cruise, about 30-35 miles. However it takes about an hour and is nice and calm, not including stops. The view of the lake and beaches are great and the roads are nice. Add some VW, Audi's plus some friends and it can't get much better. Anybody is welcome to join, this event is hosted by .:dubnoxious:.
