you are ?

You will be joining everybody else from Chicago going into WI. You WILL have trafic from the moment you get to Chicago all the way to The dells

Come up 39 and the traffic won't start until Rockford
------------
Upon Second Look based on where you are it's not totaly crazy.

But I would still take 80 or 88 over

Details, details...

Who will be leaving from Indy Friday morning?
jetfuel, jwight, shadowchameleon so far

What time are we getting on the road? TBD
Where are we leaving from (or joining up)? TBD

Anyone decided to come up I 55 and join up with the Indy group at Bloomington, IL?

Rest/fuel stops en route?

Did a quick look at the map and it shows about 2:45 from Indy to Bloomington and the just over 4:00 from Bloomington to Wisconsin Dells. With stops, probably pretty close to 8 hours total, so to arrive in the Dells by 4:00 pm we'd have to leave Indy NLT 9:00 am (allowing for the 1 hr time change.)

My Route Still gotta check the time, but should be meeting up with Sharkdog1986 at 39 and Rochelle, IL around 1pm Indiana time or Noon IL time. Expecting to stop by the dealership to see if anyone is meeting up there.

I was planning on leaving the Argos/Plymouth area around 11 est to be over in Merrillville around 11:30 cst and be in the Dells around 5-5:30 cst. I will have my GPS so we won't get lost!

You and I could meet up along US 30 in Plymouth, then stop at the Bob Evans on 30 near 65 in Merrillville to grab lunch and meet any others wanting to go up through Chicago with us.

BTW: It's exit 87 for Paul Bunyan's Restaurant. My mom and I ate there on our way to Minnesota
