any advice on what I should do or any ideas on the speed limits in the area?
I also might swing through Joliet.

thanks.

heh. make sure you have plenty of change for the tool-ways. The Interstate speed limits are merely suggestions. 70 is about the norm in non-congested parts. If you get pulled over by a Chicago cop for speeding, you are an idiot....They don't pull over speeders unless they have to.

Oh yeah, wear the seatbelt too...they've been issuing quotas to cops for seatbelt tickets.

The Tulsa-Chicago-Vegas drive is much more scenic.

Good move, pic! :texan:

If you're planning on driving through Chicago to get Las Vegas I recommend you take a look at a map before worrying about anything else....

eh, it ain't that hard.


However, keep in mind that if you have to stop and ask directions, nobody will be able to tell you how to get back to I-90, I-94, I-55, I-290, I-355, I-294, or I-88. They will of course be able to tell you how to get back on the Kennedy, The Edens, The Dan Ryan, The Stevenson, The Eisenhower, The North-South, The Tri-State, or the East-West.

Also, they use that nomenclature in the traffic reports, so unless you already know what those are, listening to the traffic reports on the radio just sounds like a garbled mess of words.

Remember Route 66 starts in Chicago so I would find the beginning and just follow the Mother Road until I got to Kingman and make a right.

"It winds from Chicago to LA,
More than 2 thousand miles along the way,
Get your kicks, on route 66.
It winds through St. Louis, Joplin Missouri, Oklahoma City it sure looks pretty, you should see Amarillo, and Gallup New Mexico, Flagstaff Arizona, don't forget........Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino........
