Day 2 - Ohio to Chicago to Braidwood

Got a good start in the morning, but then the rains hit. Heading into Chicago was a lousy mess of highway - trucks, wind, stand still traffic!
Finally we made it to the official 'Start of Route 66" and headed back out of downtown, only to be caught in stand still traffic again. Got off that road, let the GPS kind of lead the way with intuition filling in the pieces and after an hour or so we were back on track and out of the city.
Tonight we're in Braidwood IL, a whistle stop town with a clean old school motel and kitsche diner where we had some chili cheese fries surrounded by Marilyn, James and Elvis.

  Tomorrow looks like more rain, but at least we won't have the traffic to deal with.
