But yeah, avoid Chicago. If for no other reason than you won't have a transponder for the toll roads.

The entire state of Illinois is free right now because of Covid, all toll booths are closed and you don’t need a transponder. You just drove right through the EZ-pass lanes. I just drove through Chicago, twice, 4th of July weekend. It wasn’t bad at all, stuffed up a little on the way back. Traffic moves FAST through that town when it’s moving.
Of course, you don’t want to be going through Chicago or any other city during rush hour if you can avoid it but your GPS will put you on the bypass highways anyway when your set destination in not in town.
That said, Mr. Seahawk’s route may be better for other reasons but I would not worry about going through Chicago too much. Just time it right. If you do go through Wisconsin and want to detour a couple hours north, I can put you up in your own guest cabin on the property and it is beautiful here.
