Rave - Weather!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It's very cold, but there is something special about downtown Chicago in the winter.

The only time I enjoy it is walking down Michigan Ave. (espec. by the Water Tower) before X-mas at night.

I was there New Year's Eve and it was awesome. Snow was lightly falling all afternoon, it was like something from a movie.

Yes, I look forward to the day when I can afford to travel enough to see downtown Chicago on a winter's day.

And I hope to see Piscataway, New Jersey after that.

I recommend Trenton.

It's a great place to live too.

I doubt that I'll ever live there, but suspect I would agree with you if I did.

One I thing I wish were different about it is that it be closer to good camping. I used to love going on long camping trips in the Ozarks when I lived in StL. I haven't really checked out what's available here but I get the sense it's mostly up north in Wisconsin and Minnesota. There is nothing in Illinois really.

There is, but it is really far south.

Indiana has some good stuff too.

You are going to have to drive some, but I know you are probably 3 hours or so from what you desire. Also check out Michigan..

[Radbird]

I know it's a drive, but I'd probably head up to Wisconsin's Northwoods where my wife is from. Little town called Phillips. Lots of camping, fishing, hiking options up there.

I'm sure Hungary Jack will agree, the hiking/camping is found in the UP of Michigan or Boundary waters in MN.
