    Forest Glen, IL - March dates

    There seemed to be some interest in getting out to the Forest Glen Preserve in another post so I thought I'd throw this out there. If anyone wants to come hang, I'll be there this Saturday/Sunday (3/13-3/14) and next Friday/Saturday (3/19 -3/20) @ East Camp.

    Forest Glen is just south and east of Danville. https://vccd.org/forest-glen-preserve/

    There is a permitting system and I am trying to find out how that may work for groups such as ours. My permit is supposed to be good for up to 10 people, but I am checking with them on how that works if we all come from separate directions.

    Also... I might try to get an actual group hang organized for April 9 - 11. I'll make another post if that ends up working out.

    PM me if you want details.

    Pleaase keep us posted on the permit details and further scheduling. I would love to come but don't think I can do the March dates. I will tentatively plan on the April dates, although that weekend is going to be tough.

    Thanks for organizing!

    Crud, can't do March but the April dates I may be able to make. It is Easter that weekend which may be a problem family wise.

    Need new glasses or maybe just look closer at the calendar.
    Super, I'm putting it on the things to do list. Besides my kit which includes food let me know if I need to bring anything else.

    So.. I don't think even they know what the rules mean... Especially in the midst of the pandemic.

    From what I can find we should be good under 10 people. So.. come on out tonight or next Friday. My permit ought to cover.

    I'll be at east camp, probably site 5.

    They have a pretty good map on their website.

    So I’ve confirmed that I can NOT come out in April
    Which I probably won’t have my underquilt that point anyway, so I will just have to try for the next one. I look forward to hearing a trip report!

    Hope to get out there with you all soon...
