Exclamation Chicago Crew Meet for May

Hey everyone, I'm working on a roadtrip for the Midwest crew. What do you guys think about meeting in the west suburbs of Chigago, and blasting south to I80, and heading east to Southbend, IN(about 120 miles from Schaumburg). From there, we ride North into the hills of Michigan, and ride west the Lake Michigan shore. There is a winery out there in Buchanon that we could tour, and eat lunch. After that, we could ride down to the Dunes, and take some pictures, maybe stop in Michigan City, and grab a slightly early dinner at a restaurant I know of down by the Lake. All in all, about 350 miles, with some highways, twisties out in the middle of nowhere, and some neat scenery. Any feedback?

Nick

I'd be game. Single day trip?

I'm not too far from Woodfield if we were to start up here.

I don't mind if you ride in an ML. This idea isn't actually a track day, just a meet and extended cruise. I would love to see 20-30 cars on the trip out there. I plan on updating this thread in the 211 AMG forum, but I will be checking all of them.
