Heheheh! Yeah, after 125 feet, you're on your own! ;-)
Would the ferry actually be a shortcut though? I think I read it
takes 4 hours for the crossing; I would guess there would be some
additional time involved for embarking, disembarking, delays,
detours to get to the loading spot and get back on course from the
exit point. etc. 4 hours worth of driving would be around 240 miles,
seems like it would be faster to keep driving, but I guess it depends
on the time of day and how congested Chicago is.
No doubt it would be more relaxing!!! :-)
