Crazy to think about how big the chicago area is. If you drive from Valpo to Racine, even with no traffic, is 2.5 hours.

That's wild. Yeah Chicago is huge

Have you ever taken the skyway in and out of Chicago? The bridge is amazing

[@TheTravelDocketCTC]

No I sure haven't. I'll have to check that out next time I'm in the area.

One time, I made this trip in my new fancy pantsy electric car. I did all the calculating which said I should be fine. Well, there was a stiff headwind coming off of lake michigan and I ran out of battery near DeMotte. The best thing I could find was a slow charger and had to sit in the parking lot for 8 hours until it charged. I turned a 3 hour trip into a 12 hour trip...oye vay. Never again.

Oh no, what a bummer! That's crazy!
