People from Indiana

Years ago, the Komets were in the "I" with the Blues affiliate, Peoria Rivermen and the KC Blades. A bunch of us used to go see the Blades when the Rivermen and Komets came to Kemper to play the Blades. Those were the days.

Actually Rudy worked in a steel mill in Joliet, IL where he lived but they are very much like the steel mills in Hammond, East Chicago, Gary, Portage and Burns Harbor

In truth the best of the Lake Michigan lakeshore in Indiana is between Chesterton (Indiana Dunes State Park) and Michigan City which is National lakeshore and not in the hands of the state government.

I was impressed with the Dunes State Park. Beautiful area. Seemed like a hidden gem that only locals would know about.

I forgot to mention that the National Lakeshore is free and the Dunes State Park charges admission.

I've got family in Chesterton. Both the lakeshore and dunes are neat areas I had no idea existed till they showed me.
