Marengo Ridge - Chicagoland Spring Out!

Post by chitwnvw » Mon Apr 05, 2010 5:25 pm

All you midwestern IACers, especially Chicagoland folk, since it is so close, although all are welcome!, Marengo Ridge opens on May 1st. Which happens to be a Saturday. Anyone else up for going out for a night of camping and socializing?

See, Thomas Woods Individual Campsites/Marengo Ridge:

This is our trip out their last fall:

I'm interested. I'll have to see if I have anything going on that weekend, but I think I'm clear.

I think we might be up for that. I have to get the 72 out of storage and I'm good to go.

Since that is Memorial day weekend it might be a big camping partying weekend, we should try and get at least couple of sites reserved. I think it is ok to put two buses per site if we need to.

I will have to check the calendar. A definite possibility.
I'm all out of ideas and I've tried nothing.

I reserved site 8 for the night of May 1 to the 2nd. If anyone else decides to do it, if you pick up site 11 we will have a real nice area to ourselves.
