We actually got off fairly early yesterday, at 8 am. Those of you who know Liz will understand the significance of that!! But, we also got of at 6:30 am for the eagle watching trip earlier this month (because of the groundhog).
Took the usual way to avoid the Chicago hassle, Il-47 south down to Mahout, Ilinois and then east on I-74 past Champaign and Danville to Indiana-63 and south to Terre Haute, home of Indiana State and the National Road.
NO McRIB FOR ME
Stopped at the McDonald's in Yorkville, Illinois, for a bathroom break and breakfast. Sadly, I saw that they still had McRibs, but we were an hour early so had to settle for the breakfast.
Picked up US-41 at Terre Haute and took it all the way to Evansville. Lots of fruit and vegetable stands along the way which, for some reason, were closed. Sure can't understand that.
The whole state of Indiana was covered with snow. Usually, by the time we get to Champaign, snow cover is gone.
Gas prices were generally around the $2.60 range, although some Shell stations in Illinois were $2.70 and even $2.80. I did see gas for as low as $2.50.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
