Chicago Pre Tour, Group Leaving for Detroit 6/1 6:00am
Location
Tri-State Tollway (I80/I294) South Holland Lincoln Oasis Eastbound,
Tri-State Tollway (I-294/I-80), Milepost 1 Eastbound
( +41.578021,-87.599491)
Will be meeting up on Friday 6/1/2012 6:00am (leaving no later than 6:30am) for Power Tour, all is invited. message me with your cell phone number (if you want) so we don't leave anyone behind. This will leave us in plenty of time to get to the VA visit, at least one Gas Stop, and maybe a lunch stop too.
Google Maps is showing it as a 4.5 hour drive from there to the VA.
Cruising speed will be about 7-10 over the speed limit (don't need a speeding ticket before we even start)
We are going to take I94 all the way to the big "D" unless someone has another idea of a route that would be much more fun, and not much longer.
I know many people will be coming through this area to get to Power tour because it is where a lot of east west, north south interstates come all together here
If you are not familiar with Oasis's they are part of the Chicago Tollway System where you don't have to pay to get on and off the interstate, and have great variety of food, plus gas, and clean restrooms.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ANYONE WHO WILL BE COMING THROUGH THE AREA THAT DAY.
There are hotels, West of the of this location for anyone coming from the west that would need a place to stay (ie, Joliet, New Lenox, Tinley Park...)
Anyone coming from the North or Northwest there are plenty of hotels along I90 or I294. I would avoid taking I90/94 through the city of Chicago it is a traffic nightmare no matter the time.
If anyone else would like to join this group as we are traveling down I 94 towards Detroit, please let me know and we can exchange numbers and you can join in the train as we pass your exit.
Once again all is welcome
