Well, family is out in Geneva, so when I hit Lake Shore, I've still an hour of travel to hit that magic 222.5 miles for the trip.

But, it is a magnificent entrance to the city, travelling along the lake, seeing folks out jogging with the Hancock in the background.

Stop in Gary or Hammond? That's like going to Berwyn < bg >.

>Ah, you're less than 4 hours. It's 180 miles from Indy to Chicago. Besides once you get near Gary or Hammond, I'll bet you could find a couple of good places for beef and pizza (but probably more so in Hammond). I know when I was in Valpo last year, there were both, albeit I've had better.< g >
