ragtop69gs Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted July 18, 2013 Rockford looks a bit too far for some of our group. We will probably stop somewhere just SW of Chicago . We are running US 12 almost all the way to Illinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are running US 12 almost all the way to Illinois We're thinking of stopping in the area of Joliet, Ill on Saturday (we would like to avoid going through Chicago if possible). That would leave us with about a 4 hour drive on Sunday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiorider Posted July 18, 2013 Share #17 Posted July 18, 2013 How far south are you going south of Chicago?? Not too sure...heck, it's all of 9 days till we leave! You think we've planned that far in advance, lol? I'm hijacking hubby's account since he's at work and I'm "working" from home. He doesn't want to go thru the city itself and deal with the traffic. I80 in Ohio goes through our town (exit 173) Anyone wanting to meet up Saturday morning - we could head out together. I looked on mapquest, found I80 to I294 skirts Chicago. Could then stay near Addison Ill. That would be 6 hours for us on Saturday and only 3 Sunday morning. I'll try to get him to commit to a route tonight and post our plans. Would be great to find a hotel in same area with some others for Saturday night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted July 18, 2013 Share #18 Posted July 18, 2013 We are taking I80 to I355 to I88 to I39. Not sure how far we will get Saturday but Rockford is a possibility depending on how far we get Friday. I355 travels well but has a toll every few miles. I like to avoid Chicago like the plague...

saddlebum Posted July 18, 2013 Share #21 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) This is the route that Trader and I will most likely be taking, stopping over night at the campground in Benton Harbour. My plan is to stay clear of major areas. This is not the final plan as there may be some refinements https://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=2309+Fassel+Ave,+Burlington,+ON&daddr=Benton+Harbor,+MI,+USA+to:I-39+S+to:Galena,+IL,+United+States&geocode=FcJilQId-EM--ynJz6As3WEriDH8YcBmDHhHEA%3BFWKmggIdU9DY-inXXt2rbsYQiDGQCNha1-xyAQ%3BFYk7dwIdrg-x-g%3BFSI6hwIdpymc-imx3cevo8_ihzFQ1tvZFKkTpA&aq=0&oq=peru&sll=42.359385,-85.116515&sspn=7.208214,14.545898&vpsrc=0&hl=en&mra=ls&ie=UTF8&t=m&z=6&layer=c&ei=YwzoUfH_N4bOwQH28oD4AQ&pw=2 After opening link.

Prairiehammer Posted July 18, 2013 Share #22 Posted July 18, 2013 You might want to adjust your directions...HA! Also, a much nicer ride is to take US52 from I-39 in Mendota. Take US52 to Savannah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
