The South Shore Line to a walk and lake swim at Beverly Shores

This trip was taken on June 11, 2016 Last Saturday, not quite feeling a trip into Chicago yet, considering the South Shore Line is having an embargo on brining bicycles onboard due to the Chicago Blues Festival, I decided to go for an afternoon adventure to the Indiana Dunes for a walk and a swim […]

The stops though were both renovated in 2005 and have […]
