It may be a bit over 300 from North Chicago but out of the way. This
summer we went to Watersmeet Mi. and saw the ghost light,worth seeing.
I 94W to I39 N to 17 North for you. If there is a group there sharing
stories you can get real worked up. I stayed up til 3am. You can look
this up on the net also.
We camped out that night right on the back road. People say it follows
the last one out and thought we were nuts to stay!
The next day we drove way back into the Ottawa National Forest to
Robin's pond. This is an old ghost town from the lumber era. There are
cleared camping spots on the pond. Great wild life. No facilities at
all. Bring your own water. Think there was a hand well but it is prob.
closed up now. Just some animal skulls and a pile of old bricks from
the mill. There is a small dam and a story board about the area. One
story is the Maid of the Mist or Ghost of Robin's pond walks across the
pond at night. Indian maiden in white deer skin dress so I am told.
Did not see that durning the day though. If you get the itch or need
a good breakfast the casino is right in Watersmeet. This is as about
as out of the way that I have found. There is also other State and
federal forest you can go in to for no costs.
Have fun. Tread lightly.
Take nothing but pictures, Leave nothing but foot prints.

Does anybody who is online right now have any idea about wild place
(primitive campground, or something else just way out of the crowd)
in the
300 miles radius from North Chicago? Unexpectedly I got free weekend
coming
and trying to find the place to get away for the weekend. All places
I know
too far away and I do not want to spend all weekend driving.
Thanks in advance.
