Chicago: End of the road

Last day of major driving, from St Louis to Chicago - initially along the backroads making up the old route 66 for a couple of hours, then the freeway into Chicago. Illinois countryside was very flat - flattest so far in crossing the great plains, but still pretty little towns - much more prosperous than in places like Oklahoma.

Finished the day with a drink in the bar on the 96th floor of the John Hancock Tower, looking down on Chicago
