Oshkosh Wi to Dayton Ohio
Next week, on a weekday, I'm going to be going from Oshkosh to Dayton, Ohio. I've never driven around Chicago before. We're going to spend part of the day at the Airshow and then at some point head out and if possible get all the way to Dayton, and if not get as many miles behind us as we can. Google has is at 481 miles. The google route shows to take 294 around Chicago and then 80 to 65 and then South on 65.
So the first question is that the best way around Chicago? We may be hitting the road in the afternoon so we could be hitting Chicago around commuter hours. How is that route during those hours?
After we get through Chicago looks like the next choke point is Indianapolis. Google's route is 65 and then 70 right through the middle if Indianapolis, but my guess is it's probably better to take 52 (The beltway?) and go over the top of Indianapolis and then pick up 70. Is that the best route?
Any other suggestions to get from Oshkosh to Dayton on any different routes? We're doing this in a car.
