I've not been to Red Bird yet, and based on other plans still won't make this trip.
Thanks,

Looks to be around 3 1/2 hrs from Morton. 206 miles. http://redbirdsra.com/index.php?option= ... &Itemid=35

It is around Dugger Indiana.
Pretty sure I am going but like I put before will not be able to make it till the 26. Anyone planning on staying the night of the 26 and maybe wheeling 1/2 day on the 27?

Sorry I do not think I will be able to make it.
I am going to have Gal Bladder surgery sometime next week. Not sure if I will be up and around by the time this rolls around.
