Bass Pro up In Gurnee is just North of Chicago. Its right off theInterstate on the way to Wisconsinso it won't be out of the way at all. Not a bad place to stop and take a walk around. They have some pretty good stuff there. GanderMountain is about 15 miles North of there as well.

I justdid the trek to and from Indianapolis from Chicago for the Indy 500 and the only thing to seethrough there is all the hit deer. Must have been more than 50 and a good amount with what looked like some decent racks starting to form, it just made me mad!! [:@][:@]

P.S. Don't fill up with Gas anywhere in Illinois and especially Chicago, Highest gas prices in the country!!!
