Getting through/around Chicago

[hobsini2]

When we've gone to the gulf coast of Florida for vacation, we have taken I-39, I-74 and I-57.  I-39 is dull, but man...I-57 south of Campaign is a killer.


At least there are farms and fields to look at.  I drove I-15 between Barstow and Las Vegas last October, and that was boring, IMHO.  All brown rock and dirt with no green anywhere to be seen.  It made I-80 in Nebraska look good.  I'll take I-57 and I-39 any day over that stretch of I-15.

I-39 is pretty in the Kishwaukee Valley and near the Illinois Valley.  Admittedly, only for a few short miles.  And I agree with Brandon.  Desert vs farmland, i'll take the farmland.

Depends on the desert. NM 9 ate my spleen to pieces, but AZ 80 was gorgeous.
