UPDATE: Tolls and Tolls and Tolls … A third of I-90 is now Tolls. I can definitely NOT recommend driving I-90. I didn’t realize just how many Toll booths have been added in illinois alone.
With the car packed with paintings and we left this afternoon bound for Seattle. Our plan is to take I-90 and our hope is to make it over the Rockies at the Montana/Idaho border on Sunday when the weather is supposed to be good. Otherwise, the forecast is snow before Sunday and after Monday. It is midnight now. We should be in Madison, Wi by about 9am Eastern time and will be somewhere in Rapid City, South Dakota, by the time we sleep tomorrow night.
Sounds like you’re hightailing it back west…we didn’t mean to chase you back home!
Travel safe, Dave!
Dave,
I’ve been really busy and haven’t been on ewillys for a couple day so I missed this post… bummer. I live in Madison just off the interstate and would have invited you to visit and see my willys collection. I have 15 jeeps (mostly VEC 2A including CJ2A10030), 2 trucks, 2 empire tractors, 5 trailers, many implements and industrial options, pallet racks of nos and used parts, and a 1926′ Ford Model T…. kind of like my caboose. I would have love to show it to someone that would appreciate the collection.
Joe
Joe,
Sorry to hear that. We did go right by Madison. I used to live there, so I would have welcomed a reason to stop for a short visit. Hopefully, there will be another trip this summer! I will see how life unfolds.
