+wigglesworth Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I know that you are not travel agents but wonder if somebody can give us some local help. We are visiting Chicago at the end of June for 4 days and seek advice on where to stay. A really dumb question but just where is downtown?? Once we have the hotel sorted we will start with the cache selection. Jacqueline and Peter Quote Link to comment

Would you like to get together with any locals for a day or perhaps an event? Our local group can be found here: GONIL. Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Thanks for confirming where downtown is!! We would love to meet up with some local cachers. We arrive for the weekend of 26 June and travel to airport hotel on Tuesday late. The ideal caches for us would lead to a guided tour of Chicago. The transport system appears fine we just have to learn how to use it. We will now scour the mid range downtown hotels. Thanks Jacqueline and Peter Quote Link to comment
+Corp Of Discovery Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 An additional FYI: that weekend is the same as 'Taste of Chicago'. That will mean quite a bit of people in the downtown area as it's held in Grant Park, right next to where Cloud Gate is. It is a fun time tho, especially if you love food and want to see the types Chicago has to offer. I'd be willing to meet up with you at some point over the weekend. So far there are no geocaching events scheduled for that time period but that may, and probably will, change between now & then. Quote Link to comment
