At the end of Day 7, I found myself in LAX. I woke up on Day 8 in the sky over… somewhere… en route to ORD.
I landed around 6AM, gathered my belongings, got my checked luggage, and went on to get my rental.
From there, I headed to Adams and (Lincoln?) the TRUE beginning of Route 66… none of this Navy Pier stuff.
As I navigated towards Berwyn, I was SHOCKED to find out the Sears Tower is ON Route 66!
After that, I made my way to Berwyn – had to get a Novi’s sandwich for brunch and visit with friends. On a side note – Berwyn has some of the friendliest police I’ve found on the entire route.
after Berwyn, I made my way down the road to Joliet, where I took a detour to Morris to spend the nigh, do some laundry and SLEEP.
