We left home yesterday and took Il-47 south to I-74 and then east into Indiana to In-63. Then that south to Evansville, Indiana.
Had our traditional stop at McDonald's in Yorkville, Il., where we ate breakfast. It now takes about 30-50 minutes longer to drive from Woodstock to Yorkville because of traffic and development. Once past Yorkville, Il-47 opens up considerably and you can make great time.
Terre Haute takes a while because there is no bypass on 47. Evansville also is a drive through and an excessive number of traffic lights.
Crossed the Ohio River to Kentucky and then got on the Penneyrile Turnpike and made great time at 70 mph to Hopkinsville. Here, you have to get off and drive about 15 miles to hook up with I-24.
Took that to Nashville where we hooked up with I-65. Taking the interstates through Nashville, you have to be very careful about all the times it they fork. If you're in the wrong lane, you definitely have a problem.
We had planned to have those GREAT tacos at Jack-in-the-Box, but found this was one we had visited before that was 2.3 miles off the exit. I wish they wouldn't put up places that far off it. Getting back to I-24, I stupidly went west instead of east and this took us around ten miles out of our way.
We stopped in Franklin and ate at a Golden Corral , played NTN at Johnathan's and drove to Columbia where we spent the night.
