Naperville to Crystal Lake...Single-lane back roads the whole way, I'll bet. What route did you take?

Started off by taking 59 to 62 (or was it 64?) somewhere just south of Barrington, then 31 to 14.

Then, when Beth stopped working, I would get up at 5, out of the house by 5:30, and that would be 355 (which turned into 290, which turned into 53) to 14.

So...No, not single-lane roads. Two lanes, at the least! ;-)

New Not that bad...
I-355 going north isn't that bad...When you get on the expressway at 5:45 am. It was usually 80 mph the whole way to 14. The problem came when I got on Route 14. Two lanes and lights the entire way. :( But it was still better than Route 59.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
