camping this weekend.

IL 57 was an absolute nightmare. i don't normally get scared to drive, but i was definitely scared last night...

IL 57 and i-80 merge in such a way that 57 has on ramps on BOTH sides of the 2 lane road. which leads to horrible extended backups from 4 lanes becoming 2.

in the process, i watched 3 people come to a dead stop, get out, and offer to fight the person trying to merge in/around them, and 2 other people that would wildly serve at any merging-lane-blockers...

traffic finally merged, but then no one wanted to observe fast/slow lane discipline, and then clogged up the road behind 2 people that wanted to do 50mph side by side. for 20 miles..

people are their own worst enemy.
