1. We left Chicago early on a Sunday morning in an attempt to avoid traffic. There seemed to be no parking around or in Grant Park and we couldn't find the marker for the 'official' start of Historic Route 66 even though we drove around the park twice. I decided we'd just start from where we were on Jackson Boulevard with Lake Michigan behind us and downtown Chicago ahead of us. I stopped and quickly took photos; then we were on our way.
