We spent Day 8 in downtown Chicago. Our hotel is right on Michigan Avenue and a block from the major attractions. The day was mostly cloudy and windy with temperatures in the low thirties falling to twenties in the evening. We spent time in the Shedd Aquarium indoors for the most part of the day. The skyline appears perfect from the Grant Park, although there is also a river tour from the Navy Pier which could give you the same view.

On our 7th day we reached Chicago, IL after driving for about 2700 miles. Its 10:30 PM CST and about 15 degrees Fahrenheit outside with wind chills close to 2 degrees now, as I just returned from an hour and a half night photography in the downtown Chicago.
 

 
The drive had been through Iowa and Illinois with the landscape very uneventful except for the strong cross winds that blew from 20 to 25 mph for most of the drive across Iowa. The better part of the drive was the glorious …

About 9 hours of drive, and about 700 miles East of Cheyenne, WY, we arrived in Council Bluffs, Iowa, about 10 minutes drive from Omaha, Nebraska. We have covered the entire state of Nebraska, East to West, about 550 miles, in about 7 drive hours. The bright sunshine and low winds were especially helpful.

We drove for over 700 miles from Jackson Hole, WY to the south east corner to Cheyenne, WY. The day had been brilliant, sunny, blue skies and for the most part with very low winds. Though the temperature remained in single digits, the sun made it warm enough for a comfortable drive.

Assuming that 26 East might have some remnant snow, we decided to take the alternate route 189/191 South to I-80 E just past Rocky Springs. Although I-189/191 …

It’s Day 4 on our 6 days’ Winter drive from California to New York. It is a small planned deviation from our standard Interstate 80 drive, not willing to miss Jackson Hole in Winter. I have been taking some photographs on the way, mostly while driving and sometimes pulling over on the shoulder or at some of the vista points. The weather is about freezing, with day time temperature hovering around 16 degrees Fahrenheit.
