What if I don't want to go to Chicago?

Today's journey took us across Illinois and almost all of Indiana.  If you can believe the signs, every single road in either state leads to Chicago.  Only trouble with that is that I'm trying to get to Columbus.

After one rest stop in Illinois, we pulled back onto the highway behind a truck carrying a wind turbine blade.  I quickly realized that a second truck with the same load was right behind me. I let it pass me, and as it went by, Nicole took this picture out the window.

Seen up close and personal, these suckers are really, really BIG.
