To get the route in your Google Maps mobile app, type in Hooters Schaumburg, as the starting point and then find the “Add Destination” option in the menu - on iOS it's the vertical ellipsis button. From there, make sure you have the addresses in the order like shown and you’ll have the full route in your phone with step-by-step directions. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t support sharing this via link yet so you’ll have to do it manually.

Save the date, folks. Saturday, October 22. This will be a one-day cruise to the beautiful roads of Galena, Ill. We'll soak up some nice driving roads before we put the hot rods away for the winter.

We'll meet in the parking lot south of Schaumburg Hooters on Saturday morning and cruise out to Galena. Out there, the plan is to grab food together at a lunch spot, hit up the hot spot roads and drive back.

More details will come as we share the route and specifics about the day.

The Best Driving Road Ever: In Illinois?

You see, while the rest of Illinois was leveled by the last glacier, somehow that massive chunk of ice missed Galena altogether. This created an area that more resembles the countryside of Europe, than the vast flat corn expanse that is the rest of Illinois.
