Walgreens, Mount Prospect ⇔ 43+176 (Lake Bluff, IL)

variant:  UP-N Metra + bike

• (if starting out from the suburbs, travel back into Chicago on Metra UP-NW, getting off at Clybourn Station)
• Metra UP-N outbound [duration: 0:59]
  • Clybourn
  • Ravenswood
  • Rogers Park
  • Evanston Main Street
  • ...
  • Fort Sheridan
  • Lake Forest
  • Lake Bluff
• bike/walk [2.0mi]
  • if biking, you're going on part of the nicest part of the North Shore Bike Path
  • also note: when you get near to the destination, you can probably cut across "Shepard Chevrolet" to avoid going on the backwards-diagonal that is IL-43
    • (however, this saves only 0.4mi each way)
    • But I have to do the round-trip within a 3 hour period. So that's a bare-minimum 3.2 mile hike/bike in three hours.

• if visiting here early in the morning, then the earliest I can come back inbound with my bike is ... 9:21am (not bad!)
  • yes, I confirmed that I can take my bike outbound ANY TIME before that
• if visiting here late in the afternoon, then the lkatest I can go outbound with my bike is ... 1:42pm (what suckage)
  • yes, I confirmed that I can come back inbound with my bike ANY TIME after that
