DC...I hope all is well with you.

The directions to your place sound an awful lot like the directions to my place

Talked to mom & dad...they're about an hour out, and it's snowing pretty hard...always the optimist, mom says "but it's a dry snow"! They're both worried about how cold it's gonna be sitting in line for an hour or so waiting to get in, with the engine off since they're only allowed 1/8 tank of gas...

It's snowing lightly now,but nothing significant.
The winds are hitting 60 MPH +,so you trailers be careful as you are as vulnerable as a sailboat at sea.
The city of Chicago began phase II of the 800 million dollar two year long reconstruction of the Dan Ryan,aka IL-90/94,THIS very week which means massive ramps closures and detours.
The express center lanes are where all traffic is being re-routed as they close off ALL the local side exit ramps,and you have to find an alternative.
This affects 31st street which is the exit for McCormick Place,among others.
The Bishop-Ford express way between Indiana & Illinois is down to two lanes.
Add the Toll booth and let the expletives fly.
Be careful and follow all signs...

Well, you go to the end of the hard road, take a left on the dirt road, follow it 'til it turns into a path, then get out and walk to the edge of the earth. Look around; you're there.
