<p>Driving will get you closer to the entrance to the drill hall, you can park in the parking lot on base. If you take the shuttle it drops you off at the gate.</p>
<p>The base will be very clear of ice and snow, unless it is snowing when you arrive for PIR.</p>

<p>I did the rental car because my flight gets into O’Hare about 0030 Friday Morning. Living on the edge!!! No sleep for me because I have to pick up my ticket at 0500. My hotel is very close to base . Now I need to figure out if driving or shuttle will decrease my walking exposure on snow and ice. Could just wear my muck boots. Any advice? GDay is 11/30.</p>

I was told the hotel shuttles drop off at the gate. It’s approx 1/4 mile from gate to welcome center then another 1/4 mile to the ceremony hall.

<p>If the greyhound runs to Waukegan that is perfect then. I couldn't find that stop on the greyhound site though. I'll call them to find it</p>
<p>Thank you for the info!</p>

Actually greyhound goes to Waukegan which is where the base actually is if you wanted to meet up there and assuming your hotel is there.<br />
From what I see if you are going to be based in Chicago, you would walk one block south from the Greyhound station at Harrison between Des Plains and Jefferson and catch the 60 bus to the Ogilive Transportation Center. From there you would take the Metra route Union Pacific North to Great Lakes. The stop is right outside the gate you will be using to enter for…

<p>Do look into the Chicago Metra from Chicago OTC to just about whatever town you are staying in. The train is approx $7 per person. You can buy a weekend pass for a couple dollars more. If your city isn't on the stop you can probably catch a cab from the station to wherever. You might even ask your hotel if the have shuttles from the train.</p>
<p>You want to look at the Union Pacific North schedule.</p>

<p>Be careful of Uber in Great Lakes during the weekend. We have heard from some that they are charging a premium price during the weekend.</p>
