Midwestern hills....

People who have never been to the Midwest think it's all straight and flat. And northwestern OH, central/northern IN, and central IL, they'd be more or less correct, in general, but that's about all the flat you get out here. Iowa is nowhere near flat. Nebraska seems flat to the people who just pass through on I-80, but in reality, that's because most of I-80 is built on the flood plain of the Platte River. From Grand Island to the split, to be sure. North and south of I-80 it's anything but flat.

 

aannnnnnnd, Since their are many "Brainiac" Carriers out there knowing this, Their operation is Chicago to,Northern Indiana Southern Michigan,Central illinois and Toledo,Oh, to the east and Indy to the South,Springfield.Il to the Southwest and Milwaukee-Madison to the North..

AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! While your reading this secretly,quietly with a firm Grin on your face looking at bank statements.

 

I like people who think Kansas is flat too lol

 

Hwy 185 in illinois?

From St Peter to Hillsboro? Im trying to figure out where your trying to go! Or trying to do

Doesn't really have much to do with St Louis unless you came across I-64 trying to get to Northern Missouri,or western Illinois ....More of a inconvenience I suppose.

185 isn't bad from Hillsboro to Vandalia- But its only like a 50 mile stretch of highway- I don't think hwy 185 goes west of Hillsboro

 

oh ok

I just took this route to get from I-55 to a delivery in Sullivan off I-44. My friend, you can keep that road, LOL. I was taking 32 to 67 to 8 and could either go 8 all the way over and then head north on 44, ooorrr take 185 directly. I was going to play it by ear. The route leading up to 185 was all pretty wide open, so I figured 185 would be the same. Nooooope. The first little bit was decent, just a real narrow two lane with little to no traffic. Then I started getting into the foresty hilly curves with no shoulder, and cars coming around the blindside at 50mph while your trying to keep your trailer on the pavement, ahaha.



I knew I was in trouble when I started seeing a bunch of crotch rockets flying through the curves. I'm thinking "nice, Im gonna be a youtube star like that truck who got stuck on that Tail of the Dragon pass", ahaha.


Although I will not take away from that road being a butt clencher regardless, it would have been a lot nicer if I wasn't loaded at 79k.

Much respect if you take that route on the normal.
