Chicago to Minneapolis is approximately 420 miles. At 60mph that’s a 7 hr drive. At 70mph it’s 6 hrs. At 80 it’s 5 hrs 15 min.

When I was making that drive every other week I hated the slow pokes. There are only some many times you can look forward to a stop in Tomah, WI

I don't know, as a non-American, Tomah Wisconsin sound exactly like the kind of place you could get a nice grilled cheese or a decent hamburger at a diner unchanged since the 1950s, with a bottomless cup of coffee and a nice slice of apple pie from a friendly middle aged waitress called Flo or similar who would no doubt call you hon. I'd look forward to stopping there.

If it is like most of small town america, they replaced the diner with a soulless strip mall back in the 90s. You can stop at the Burgerking or Dollar General now.

As an American who has never been to Wisconsin this is pretty much what I would imagine as well.

Quebec to Palo Alto, I've done the drive in 3 days, and 5, usually 4. All due to weather, construction, and slow pokes or not.

The restaurants in Mauston, WI seem cleaner/better. That’s where I always stopped between Chicago and Hayward.
