Sounds like a great experience. I've been in that area a few times.
I don't envy anyone who has to start out from within the greater Chicago met area, even as far out as Chicago Heights. I've been through there on Rt 30 when its been choked with traffic, and other times when its been okay.
How was your route to the Dunes?
I live out in the countryside, 2 miles from a town of 300. One could ride south from my home 35 miles to the Illinois border and not go through a single town, not even one with a populaton of 100.
