Long procession of big BGSs approaching the I-94 split.
P6130068 P6130069
P6130070
Danville is way south of here, on I-74; most of the route is IL 1.
P6130071 P6130072
I-94 and US 6: Miles apart west of the Mississippi, crossing each other here.
P6130073
Calumet River bridge
P6130075 P6130076
These BGSs for I-57 skips most of the length of Illinois and then two whole states (Missouri and Arkansas) to list a city I-57 doesn't even go to.
P6130078
"57 Ends" visible from I-94
P6130081 P6130082
We'll take the express lanes for a while.
P6130085 P6130086 P6130087
Heading into the big city; "Lake Shore Drive" is I-55's last "control city".
P6130088 P6130093 P6130094
P6130095
It's kind of amusing to be driving in rural Iowa and hear WBBM's traffic reporter tell you how long it takes to get to "the post office." Here it is.
P6130098 P6130100
My third time past the Sears Tower, but first time it didn't involve going up in it.
P6130101
Downtown Chicago's a nice place to drive through, but I wouldn't want to park here...
P6130104
My attempt at an "End US 66" photo is diminished by its angle to the street and the orange sign underneath.
P6130106
Heading back out, but we'll head back in again for Lower Wacker Drive.
P6130107 P6130110
I now regret not taking any pictures of Lower Wacker, if only because it denies me a gratuitous Blues Brothers quote.
P6130111
Sears Tower from Lake Shore Drive
P6130113
A flying saucer has landed on the temple! No, wait, that's Soldier Field.
P6130114
Picking up the very beginning of I-55
P6130120
Taking I-290 back to the hotel via the northernmost part of I-355
