    I would run the Ohio Turnpike, nice easy drive. Good food in the service plazas, and then run the bypass around Chicago. But, I am used to running Chicago too.

    It’s manageable with a good engine brake.

    I used to drag pups out through there when I had bulk hazmat on board without one. That isn’t much fun.

    I recall having to descend those grades at about 20 mph with the engine wound out.

    If you wanted a taste of old school, that would do it.

    Leave Saturday morning for my run. Is this route better than taking I80 to DesMoines and then I35 N?
