Really that doesn't sound like a bad location.. seems like all the bases are
pretty well covered, drag, off-road, gun nuts and I'm sure there are other
recreational activities within the same driving distance as the shooting and
off-road park.
Does Cliffs Insane allow truck I see only mention of Jeeps, and specifically a
110" wheelbase. Camping was available as well.
Anyway, I would give a vote for the Joliet area.
