[Mile High VX]

I'll venture that you're going to New Jersey (either Patterson or Lakewood) with Patterson meeting more of the mileage description than Lakewood which is a bit further depending on where in Chicago you are headed.

This will take you down I-76 to I-70 to I-80 to I-90 and home...

Our fam in the Philadelphia area, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Northern Indiana, and or course Chicago may have a shot if I'm correct.

Another options is that you're headed to Elmsford, NY to pick up that sweet VX from NYVX. That would take you across Northern PA on I-80 as above...make sure you turn off on I-90 or you'll end up in Iowa...haha

I looked at the one in Austin, but the mileage is well over 1000 for driving so I cut them out. However as the crow flies it would be in the running as well...

Have a safe trip...I know you'll smile all the way home.
