Anyhoo all that is left is to plan the route, I want to avoid Chicago, so some mapquest stuff is needed.
By car, taking 294 around west Chicago or I think someone told me 355? A little further west eases some of the heavy traffic. I am heading far west to rockford IL and heading north from there, but I'll be on my motorcycle. See my other thread for my planned route.
