I-80/90

Why anyone would drive thru Chicago is a mystery to me.
some times it is necessary.
Weather up north was really nasty. As it was we spent 2 days in snow.
I assumed there were good (or as good as blue roads get) highways south of Chicago that run east-west but I see on the map you have to drop all the way down to US 24 or take secondary roads. I'd still do that but I really try to avoid certain cities, St Louis for one and Chicago for another. But we drive right thru Houston and Atlanta all the time. Those places maintain their highways with the gas tax that they collect for that purpose.
we stay off the interstate as much as we can, but some times ya just have to get some where.
Tonight we are camped just off I-94 going to see the Ford Museum tomorrow.
hard to find a route from Iowa to Detroit with out using 80/90/94
