Realize that on this StreetView trek, I am staying mainly on Highway 41, with just a few short side trips. Obviously if it was a real bike or auto tour, and the trekkters had arrived in Chicago, there would be much more to see. Feel free to jump off and explore with the maps! I'll stick to the highway, mostly, but there are a couple of things that we must go off-road again to see.
First, a statue of Abraham Lincoln.
Next, the entrance to the Art Institute of Chicago. Note the lions. Across Michigan Avenue is where Route 66 begins.
Finally, "the Bean", officially known as "Cloud Gate". Couldn't find a view from Michigan Avenue, so have to walk up closer.
Back on Lake Shore Drive. Through the trees, some of the boats in the Chicago Yacht Club can be seen. Looking
the other way, a lot of tall buildings.
There are still plenty of things to view, so hang on and enjoy the trek.
