Any Chicagoans ready for Messier marathon?

Is anyone from Chicagoland gearing up for a Messier marathon? I was thinking Green River State Wildlife Area tomorrow but the forecast isn't really encouraging (unless it'll change tomorrow):

There is still a chance for decent Mm next weekend, but this Sunday is new moon, so conditions would be perfect....

Any other places in Indiana or Michigan (2-3 hrs drive)?

Regards

EDIT:
Forecast at Chicago tribune is more promising:

Saturday Night...Mostly clear. Cold with lows around 20. Winds becoming light and variable.

I am finally going to Willow Slough, Morocco, Indiana.

Dark skies for everyone and good luck for all Messier marathon runners!
