Stopping point on I-57??

Lady_MCSE · 05-23-2008, 09:50 PM

Hey gang, I'm going to post a bunch of nervous first-time-long-trailer-drive questions out in the main forum. But one thing I'm looking for as a possibility is just if I get super duper stuck nervous, problems on the road, etc., whether you-all know of any overnight stopovers along the I-57 route between Chicago and Marion (exit 54).

I guess I was thinking of a place that actually boards or is used to taking travellers overnight . . . but if anyone has a farm along the way and would like to pm me their phone info that would be awesome.

I'm going to be making this trek some day next week. I'm eyeing either Wednesday or Thursday. The longest I've ever trailered my big boy is 2hrs, and this will be a doozy by comparison!

Thanks!

Sorry I forgot to come back into this thread and post an update. The move went very well. I stopped about four times during the trip, but did not make an overnight.
