Traveling by car from Kentuckian-a to Washington state! Tips & Advice please!?

If you are near 1 70 take that west into IL.When you see road signs for Carbondale IL exit there. Overnight Super 8 (I-800-800-8000) This is the home of SIU About 18,000 students.By following the main road north you can take it all the way to the outskirts of Chicago where you can pick up I-80 west to I believe it is I-35 north toward Fargo ND. from there take US 2 west to Bellingham WA.
