2017 Indiana Dunes Drive 03/25

 

We are again joining up with the Northwest Indiana MINIacs for an early spring drive out to the Indiana Dunes Area!!

WRAPUP:

Despite a cold are rainy start in Chicagoland, the weather warmed up and dried out by the time we got out to the Indiana Dunes Visitors center.. We were joined by a large group of MINIs from Indiana and Michigan, and the Peace Love Grub food truck served up plenty of big food.

Huge thanks to MINI of Chicago for hosting the start location, the Indiana Dunes visitors Center, the Peace Love Grub Food truck and Matt from the Northwest Indiana MINIacs for the event planning!!

This year we will change things up a bit.. We will be starting at MINI of Chicago, and heading out most of the way on Lake Shore Drive and expressways to get to the funner roads out towards the Dunes.   We are arranging to have lunch at an interesting Food Truck at the Visitors Center

WHAT: A combined event with the Chicago MINI Motoring Club and the Northwest Indiana MINIacs

WHEN: Saturday March 25th  10:30am departure time

WHERE: Start at MINI of Chicago  1111 W Diversey Parkway, Chicago IL 60614

We will take a mostly highway drive out towards the Indiana Dunes, with a few twisty bits towards the end.

Lunch will be at a Food Truck at the Dunes Visitors Center and then off to explore anything in the Dunes area on your own or with MINI friends.

What to bring:  Clothing appropriate for the weather, a full tank of gas, camera, money for lunch and any Dunes activities.

    • Nope, dont need to be a member..
      Please feel free to come and try us out.
      Of course, we are always hoping you have such a fun time that you want to come on out to other events and join up in the future 😉

      • Thank you maybe once there i can get some help on how to turn on the lil heartbeat light once the doors are locked and care is off for some reason its off

  1. Curious if MINI of Chicago will have breakfast before we leave. Bill Jacobs, Orland Park and Knauz have been excellent hosts with tasty breakfast treats and coffee. Trying to plan ahead…

    • Thing to think about, at 10 am on a Saturday, this dealership will be up and running. It’s a business day for them.

  2. We’re going regardless of weather. I need to Motor. I need to motor in a line of motoring MINIs. Its been too long since our Road Warrior Rock Run. See everyone in the morning.

  3. Bobby and Carol have to cancel. Bobby had some icky dental work yesterday and feeling poorly. Missing you all. Have lots of fun. Carol and Bobby
