Turnpike scenery

Jim and I got an early start and headed west on the Pa Turnpike. It was busy with trucks but all moved well. The road became the Ohio and Indiana Turnpikes and turned into Rt 90 at the Chicago Skyway and right through the city.

Our goal was to make it passed Chicago and save the morning of day 2 from being stuck in rush hour traffic. We succeeded and got a room at a Holiday Inn near Rockford, north west of the city.

Tomorrow should be a straight shot through Wisconsin and Minnesota. We hope to make it to Fargo, ND at the end of our second day.

We drove about 750 miles today and Wednesday's goal is 600+ on easier roads. Jim will drive tomorrow and hopefully he'll have more luck avoiding cops than I did today. One of Ohio's finest nabbed me for 9 miles over the limit while passing a truck.

It was still a good day.
