    Where the hell is that?

    Its where I'm thinking of setting up base camp for the Stanford game weekend. It's 46 miles east of South Bend, just below I-80.

    El Sid! Gipper! Any local intel you care to share?

    I refuse to pay $300-400 per night to stay in Elkhart or South Bend when I can stay at the Borgata for nothing if I can hang at the craps table for an hour.

    Help!

    Biggest flea market in the country....

    Probably lots of middle-aged women there also who don't care all that much for football...but love a good flea market when they see it. :D

    Good move. It's a nice place. An Amish community that has some nice places to eat and is convenient to ND via U.S. 20 bypass that runs south of Elkhart and South Bend. I'll try to give you a more detailed scouting report in an email.

    I hope you are bringing a cell phone to set your alarm. Will they have electricity?

    I have learned... If Sid and Gip give you the thumbs up on something then its legit. Terry might be screwing with you, but if he is, he'd stop you in time :p :p :p I kid. Terry wouldn't steer you wrong.. In this case, I think it appears all signs are a go for this place.

    Bring back an Amish bikini.
