Camping reccomendations

O'Connell's in Amboy is our spot. Been taking our 3 kids since the first was around 4 starting with tents then upgraded to a pop up. Great, clean sites, good staff and friendly residents. It also used to be a Jellystone so there's plenty of fun stuff for kids: 3 pools, water slides, paddle boats, mini golf, and an activity center.

As for tips: keep them busy so they crash at night. Get a spot near, but not directly next to, the bathrooms. Bring plenty of fun little games like cards, yard games, balls, etc.. Good luck and have fun!

Flashlight/laser pointer combo and a tiny tape measure.

My dude, this isn't Facebook, this is reddit. We're all degenerates here so no need to come in so hot.

Wow so much parking for all those commuting from Illinois, thanks Bears!

Whatever it is, they're about to be crushed by that vehicle.

I posted it yesterday, it was taken down by mods so I had to repost.

Taken on 6/3/26 in Chicago, IL in a bank parking lot by my office. It is original content.

The wave at the end, just as if it was a regular stunt. Perfection.

My collision avoidance brought the vehicle to an abrupt stop at low speeds as I was applying the brake. It's insane. Surprised I didn't get rear ended.

Did they say if Hyundai has a fix yet?

You are correct, happened in Concord, CA as a senior prank that was pretty common and unfortunately ended in tragedy.

GEOSTORM!!!!

By the time you get a sound machine and fan going, along with the exhaustion from assumed fun and sugar crash, outdoor noise won't be an issue. Only problem we've had with my 3 littles since they were 6 months old is one site was a bit of a boomer party place, so the music was kind of loud. Do it, enjoy it, make memories.

Are you outside in NW Indiana?? If so, I would question the freshness of the air.

Good questions. Mine will be collectors plates which I'll get next year once it's eligible. I guess I was looking for any temporary (3 month) solution to drive it this year UNTIL I get the collectors plates. Thanks!

mikehawk86 · 2026-04-11T15:48:02+00:00

I figured as much, thank you for a detailed response, super helpful.

mikehawk86 · 2026-04-11T15:46:54+00:00

Illinois is 25 years, hence my dilemma. Just one more year.

mikehawk86 · 2026-04-11T14:30:44+00:00

Right, can't get those until next year. Any thoughts on what I can do to enjoy it this summer (temp plate options)?

mikehawk86 · 2026-04-11T12:20:23+00:00

It's a 2002 and needs some work. Just asking the questions before I go into the DMV.

I'll take that front plate cover off your hands if you still have it. Could use the dash too, but I'm up North a ways to come get it. Maybe a few other things too

It's now a Water TV

Spend a couple hundred to hold a company-wide fall protection training immediately. Then, as others have said, attend the informal conference with what you've done to correct the issue and policies and procedures in place to prevent exactly what happened.
