Took Hwy 115 to get on Expressway. Nice ride!
Made good time for a few hours. After a stop at a rest stop, Terry started to drive. All was going well for awhile, we saw dark smoke in the distance and traffic was stopped. We were at a stop for close to an hour! Once we got up to where the accident was, after the hour, there was a burned-out semi truck. We don't know the whole story but the truck was completely destroyed.
We stopped to get a bite at McDonalds. Our plan to have lunch with Laura and Joe went up in "smoke."
Marilyn started to drive and things were going well until we got off for gas, seeing another tie up ahead. The gal at the gas station said the tie up was in Illinois and a multiple car accident. We got back in the car and Terry programmed the GPS to find a detour. The detour got us to I-90 and it was smooth sailing until we got near downtown Chicago. Traffic was slow until we got onto the Edens Expressway.
We FINALLY got to Marilyn's home!
