Camped at Hickory Hollow cg, near Peru Illinois

We had a long (for us) driving day today - 858 km. We wanted to get west of the Chicago area so as to miss any weekday traffic, and we did! Hickory Hollow is a nice cg, close to the I80 highway but very little traffic noise, due to hills and trees between us. It also honors Passport America, so a serviced site was $16 for us. We got here at 2:45 Central time, left New Dundee about 6 AM Eastern time.

Weather: mostly sunny, up to 27C
Route: 401/402/I69/I94/294/I80.

294 was a toll road, but only 10 km. Toll was $1.75, hardly worth the lineups to pay, you'd think.
