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.
