DUMB_BASS- I kind of choked over "mountains" too but ya gotta be charitable. If they drive up your way, I figure they could be going through the Smokies and that those are the mountains he was talking about.
Sorry if I came across as smug.. it was unintentional, I was just amused that the word Mountains and Illinois were in the same sentence. LOL
This comin from a guy who grew up in PA mtns then moved to Montana Mtns, and Now live in the land where our highest point is called a "Mound"
Also have driven from IL to the Fla panhandle... no big hills between here and there[

] TN has some elevation change I suppose. I agree that driving around the country is fun though... been in 46 of the 50 drivin most of that...
