I looked at going up though Wisconsin from western Chicago suburbs to Mackinac Island, but it takes SEVERAL hours more than biting the bullet and going I90/94/80.
When we go to Michigan or farther east to Virginia or New Jersey we just try to time it so we hit Chicago on off hours. Between 10am and 2pm, or later after 8pm and it isnt all that bad. There are CRAZY drivers no matter when you go through. The headache is worth the time saved to me.
There is always the ferry option to go across lake Michigan, but that is VERY expensive.
I commute daily to and from work. Going in and out of Hartford CT a nightmare, I hit heavy traffic miles away from the downtown on Routes 84 & 91. I travel past Bradley International airport and don't have to go to Hartford, but depending on the time or day forget my travel. I use many back roads as possible.
RV is different, as well as not knowing the area.
A couple of kind folks here suggested backing away from Chicago via I90, I just wonder what is far enough?
I was able to save a screen shot of what I planned but I can't figure to upload it? Asks for a URL but I saved it on me PC. I had the option to upload it on IRV2 forum, it's there under Normy post
