Chicago traffic was absolutely horrible. We were trapped there for about an hour. We tried to go around the traffic jam, but an arts festival and a farmer's market only made it worse. Fortunately the time zone change works in our favor. Civilization was found in the form of a starbucks at the last Illinois rest stop. Driving west also ads the new challenge of driving into the sunset. Also, we managed to weave between several storm cells. hopefully we can keep this up!
