I decided to start a new thread for this meet. 4/10 is sneaking up on us way too fast, and I hope that we can get a better turn-out on the 24th. Please post in this thread if you can make it. The location will be Busse Woods in Niles. Map here. If we get enough people, I will "sponsor" the meet by providing free food and soda.

Also - if someone local can please verify whether or not these locations at Busse Woods need to be reserved please let me know.

Altimat, the map you sent is for Busse Woods in Schaumburg, I'm all for it since I live in Schaumburg. My company has picnics there occasionally...I'll find out if reservations are needed.

They can be is the answer

For the area we have marked, its simply free range, as is most of the park, but if we wanted one an area with a shelter, then we would need to fill out permits and such. If we had a few dozen people, that might not be such a bad idea, but as it sounds like we're gonna have a handful, it might be overkill.

From the FPDCC.com page:
Q: Do I need a permit to have a picnic in the FPDCC, and if so, how do I get one?

A: If your picnic is for a group of 25 or more persons a Picnic Permit must be obtained. You can download an application for Picnic Permits online. You'll find this application and more information about Picnic Permits in Recreation, under Picnics.

Picnics of less than 25 people must respect the reservations of those holding permits.

I think the 24th is doable. My setup isn't as slick as some of the one's I've seen on here, let's call it a work in progress

but it should be up and running again by then.

I will be in Wheeling that weekend (from Ohio here)
