Yeah, I think it's safe to say I'll be doing a good 140 to 150 through there...

Alright, so I know it's still a month away, but I haven't heard from anyone in the Michigan/Southern Ontario area going that would want to carpool. Since I've got a truck it would be costing me about $350 to $400 to drive. I'm trying to make things as cost effective as possible, so I was looking at the Amtrak. I can take it easily from Port Huron to Chicago and back and it'd only be about $126 round trip. The thing with that though would be to see if there is any easy way, city buses or some other method of easily getting up to Gurnee and then back to Union Station to catch the return train for 3pm on the Sunday.
Anyway, these are just thoughts, but any input from those in the Chicago area would be greatly appreciated. I'm just exploring the different options now.

Here's the train schedule from Union Station to Fox Lake (which is close for me to pick you up):

You catch the Metra at Union Station, which is where the Amtrak comes in at...
