LA or Bust-Day 15
This was strictly an interstate day. We took I90 to I-80 to
I-355 to I-88 and then a mile or two to our final destination. We
did this because they were forecasting late afternoon thunderstorms in
the Naperville area. As it was, it began to sprinkle as we came
to a stop and was raining fairly steady by the time we got the bike
unloaded and covered - and really poured later in the afternoon.
The
ride was uneventful and has definitely improved since they opened up
I-355 from I-80 all the way to I-88. We used to have to take
I-294 which is always under construction and has very heavy truck
traffic. I-88 is a toll road and there were no trucks at all. I'll gladly pay a toll for that privilege.
We're
still deciding what route to take starting Wednesday as we head for
home. We'll probably start out on I-88 until we get out of the
heavily populated areas and then see how it goes from there.
