Started the first leg of my trip yesterday. Made it to 60 miles West of Chicago and found a motel for the night. Getting through Chicago was worse than I remembered. The ambient temp was 95 degrees and the traffic was horrible.
It took 1 1/2 hours to travel 9.5 miles through Chicago. It was move 100 feet stop and wait. I certainly was concerned about oil/engine temps. The oil temp reached a max of 260 degrees which I didn't really like. It never went over that. I was sure glad to get to motel and rest for the night.
Today we arrived in Richfield, Minnesota.
I had a very weak moment and agreeded to stop at Mall Anmerica for my bride to see it. She is one of those folks that really likes to shop and generally don't buy much. We will be here for 2 days and then head out to Hill City, SD. That will be more my speed.
