We left New Wilmington, Pennsylvania this morning at about 6:30 am and are
now coming up on Chicago. The day is overcast with occasional heavy
showers. It’s not too hot which is nice. Nina is driving (she prefers
driving) and I’m observing. We stay on I-80 so there isn’t much navigating
required. We are hoping to get about to Des Moines, Iowa tonight which, if
the construction and traffic through the Chicago area is kind, should be
easily possible. We’re 39 miles from the Illinois border and it’s about 1
p.m. It takes about three hours to get across Illinois — so Des Moines by
the dinner hour is possible! Pocatello, we’re on our way back home!
