This one strikes my fancy from the limited pictures available...

Eh gravel driveway sucks

I'm not looking near the chain anymore either, don't want to deal with flood shit.

i wouldn't write it off at all dude, PLENTY of areas that don't get affected by the chain whatsoever that are very near to the water.

I'd rather be out towards Marengo, Huntley etc over McHenry. I like the open areas. If I had my choice I'd be in Sycamore, Sugar Grove or Elburn.

 

[Yaj Yak]

you will not be within 25 miles of lake zurich then

Yeah, that's the part that sucks lol. I'd have to see how 90 is from 47 to 59 in the AM

I looked at this one. great quiet neighborhood. But house is a wreck. Would need a complete tear down almost. But its so cheap

Pretty clear going west I take it every morning 80mph

I'd be going east in the AM and west in the PM.

i believe the word is awful

Its not terrible. but has a lot more hangups than going westbound

 

[Outlaw]

Is it that bad? I'd figure it would tighten up around 59 but at least moving for most of it.

 

[Angus]

I think what would suck worse is rt 47 from sugar grove to 90...

 

[Yaj Yak]

it's not "that" bad... but it wouldn't be good. where would you be going [MENTION=1983]Outlaw[/MENTION]? 47 to ? to 90 to?

Either 47 to 90 to 59 north to 22, or 47 to 90 to 53 north to Rand to 22.

I work across the street from Gere Marine where you used to work to help you visualize it.

It would suck for sure.

its all construction after Randall. right now they're pulling semi's out into the fast lane with out looking or giving a fuck. backs traffic up for a while. its clear westbound from Randal on both sides tho

Either 47 to 90 to 59 north to 22, or 47 to 90 to 53 north to Rand to 22.

dude any of that would suck tremendously in the morning. you'd be better off sitting in traffic forever on 176.

you're across from gere marie's new building or old building?

New. I'm on Capital drive right at the corner of Capital and Ensell


And yeah, I know they would both suck. As long as it's an hour or so I'm content.

47 to 59 is not bad at all in the AM unless there's a wreck or something else out of the norm. Even with the construction its not bad, IMO. Past Barrington Rd is where it gets FUBAR.

Honestly what I was thinking. I went from Lakewood to Great Lakes every day on 176. There are a couple slow downs but honestly it's not THAT bad. The time spent sitting in 176 traffic versus having to go south, take 90, and then come back north, you may as well just sit on 176 the whole way.
