A-Wreck is D-Town thuggish, ruggish Blazer fodder. Not Chicago.

A guy I used to work with in South Bend used to go ski Tower Hill. Keep in mind it gets pretty windy up there and the snow frequently gets blown off. He always skied the back side of it. Anyway take some pics if you go. This could be an interesting TR.

I havent been to either area and would want a little more info before I hop in the car.

I'll check it out. And I'm not even sure where to begin...I've never had to go through anything family related like that. Sorry, dood.

I remember growing up in Chicago and on a school trip- taken to the Indiana Dunes- saw some people bringing their skis up there to rip some sand runs! Originally Posted by Ty Webb

Would love to see a TR followed by some burgers at RediMax (sp?) if it's still there.
