Chicago area dwellers:
I like Chicago as a destination.  Sometimes I even root for Chicago sports teams.  However, I don't like driving thru or around Chicago when I'm going from Ohio to Quetico!  Who put it sooooo very in the way!?!

That said, I'm looking for advice about the best way to go.  If plans hold, I'll be going thru about 2pm on a Tuesday (Jun 26).  The constants I'm used to are:
--> Enter Chicago area via I-65;
  ... go really slow for a while & hit a lot of tolls booths...
--> Exit Chicago area via I-90;

- I've considered buying an I-pass loaded w/$50 for quick tolls.
- I've considered a bypass using I-74 thru Bloomington, IL.
- I've skipped the whole thing via Sault Ste Marie (I'm doing that on the way back this time, so I don't want to do it on the way up).
- I've looked at the ferry across Lake Michigan (bad idea from a speed standpoint)

Other thoughts & what do others consider best?
Thanks in advance!!

PS: Just added for any 1st time readers:
I'm most likely buying an I-PASS & going thru Chicago, so...
I guess the one thing I'm left with is this: what's the best way THROUGH Chicago, now that I can quickly pay the tolls?

90 the whole way (as Google says)
or use 80/94 ; 294  (as Mapquest does)
or over to 355  Arghh!!! ????
So many choices!!!
