My How I-94 has Changed

This weekend, I was driving down interstate 94 on my way to Chicago and I was amazed what a nice trip it was. I have been making this trip for years and over the last few years it seems to get better every year. When I left Saint Paul at 6 am, I found it to be very little traffic , the traffic that was out there was evely spaced and in the right lane.
Along the way, I found not the typical wide open spaces but a mixture of space and sprawl. Places that were quaint off the road spots are now large collections of resorts , restaurants and shopping so instead of seeing rows and rows of fields, I saw fields, fun and fauna. I usually make the trip in a bout 6.5 hours and it used to be like pulling teeth and I would be exhausted . I arrived in downtown Chicago this time feeling refreshed and relaxed. All in all , the trip was excellent. A big shout out to Paul Bunyans in the Wisconsin Dells( great limberjack breakfast) and the Norskie Nook (grrrrreat pie). Need a break, need to relax, drive to Chicago catch the blues and the bears.
