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.
