GremlinGTs's itinerary , Kenoshkosh trip...WV, KY / OH, IN, IL, WI...

[Gremlingts@xxxx]

 I plan to leave on Tuesday morning, visit a friend in WV along the way at 
Charsleston, then travel either thru Kentucky via Lexington / Louisville, 
then head north sooner to hit Indiana by early evening and stay overnight. Or 
go thru Cincinnati. Might be a longer way south, but more interesting. :) If 
anyone has any helpful suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I also remember 
someone saying to AVOID Chicago, to go further west, then up and over. Can 
anyone update this? Should I take 74 to I-39 north? That looks like the best 
route NOT thru Chicago, but still close enough. I'd heard the traffic due to 
Interstate renovations was hell, so would like to avoid ALL that! I'm not 
looking to get to Kenosha the quickest, so I will make scenic detours or go 
to places I've never been before. Maybe even hit Iowa at Moline ( never been 
in Iowa ) and St. Louis, MS ( my football team the Rams live there, I can 
NEVER find any Rams stuff in Wash., DC ! ) Might save the St. Louis jaunt for 
the return trip. :) Anyway, all help is appreciated. I'll be traveling in a 
gold Gremlin, with pinstripes, black tags with white letters. I will probably 
make a sign up to put across the lower back hatch as well. :D So, only 30+ 
hours to go before I hit the road! Yahoo! See ya there, or along the way.
