Default Chicago Poker Run - route/distance

Does anyone know the route and about how far of a run it will be. I would like to estimate the amount of gas needed for the run.

Rick, the run will be very similiar to last year. The only difference is that we will 4 helicopter circling downtown outside of Monroe Harbor trying to get all of the boats for the American Powerboat Television show and for various magazines. If you don't get filmed, keep going back until you get filmed. I might keep going back.

Stops are Michigan City and then Hammond in the morning, East Chicago for lunch, then Monroe Harbor (Chicago) for the afternoon and back to E. Chicago.

Mark, you won't have a prayer. The red boat will get all the footage. I'll just have Michelle flash the helos.

120 miles should be about 50 gallons of 87 for my cat.

Bringing the minivan, then, Brad?

Are you afraid of offending Al Gore with the bigger carbon footprint that the MTI might make?
