It feels as though it will never end, doesn\u2019t it? Even though Chicago (and nearly all of Illinois) should be open by July, many people are choosing to stay home or avoid large crowds all summer.<\/p>\n<p>If you are doing the same, but you can\u2019t bear the thought of a \u201cstaycation\u201d in your house, you have probably thought of taking a nice road trip with your family.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds great, doesn\u2019t it? No crowded airports, planes, or tourist spots. Just the open road, a map, and few sweet outdoor destinations. You might even plan on camping to avoid germy hotels.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What If It All Goes Wrong?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We understand that feeling! No one wants to think about all the possible things that could go wrong on a road trip. However, you can save yourself from one disaster and end up with the road trip dreams are made of by doing one simple thing:<\/p>\n<p>Have the air conditioning inspected and maintenance performed before you leave.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>One of the Best Tips for Overcoming Road Trip Anxiety<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Assuming you have already had your vehicle inspected or the maintenance performed, there is just one more thing to consider &#8211; the air conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>No one, and we mean no one, wants to spend even half an hour, let alone a day\u2019s drive in a car with lukewarm air conditioning. Or even worse, zero cold air coming through the vents!<\/p>\n<p>We may not be able to help you pick the perfect camping spot, but we can assure you that if you get lost and your 4-hour trip turns into an 8-hour trip, you won&#8217;t need to spend it in a hot car.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More Than Cold Air<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One thing most people don\u2019t realize is that the air conditioning in your car is like adding a weighted backpack to a marathon runner. If the cooling system and air conditioning system aren\u2019t working properly, you are asking for your car to overheat.<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t that be fun? Sitting by the side of the road in an overheated car in 100 plus degree temperatures? Ugh.<\/p>\n<p>Having the air conditioning system in your vehicle inspected will also keep you and your family healthy. Even if your ride is an older model, chances are that it has one or more <a href=\"https:\/\/mymechanic.net\/what-is-a-cabin-air-filter-and-when-to-replace-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cabin air filters<\/a>. These filters trap and remove the dirty outside air, preventing dust, pollen, and bacteria from polluting the air inside your car.<\/p>\n<p>These are routinely changed during an air conditioning maintenance inspection. Changing the cabin air filter regularly will help to prevent allergic reactions. It will also keep the inside of your car cleaner.<\/p>\n<p>You can make your road trip almost headache-free by performing a vehicle inspection, as well as servicing the air conditioning before you hit the open road.<\/p>\n<p>Notice we said \u201calmost\u201d because of course even we can\u2019t guarantee that you will love the places you have chosen.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Best Road Trip Ideas Within a Day\u2019s Drive of Chicago<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unless you are seriously pressed for time, you most likely want to avoid the awfully close and usually crowded parks such as Maggie Daley, Lincoln Park, and Starved Rock.<\/p>\n<p>**It&#8217;s best to call ahead to see who is open and any special requirements for entry, such as a face mask. A few places that you might enjoy visiting that are within a 6-hour drive from Chicago include:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is one of America\u2019s newer parks. It was given national park status back in 2000. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/cuva\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cuyahoga Valley<\/a> sits right in between Akron and Cleveland Ohio. There is so much to do and see here. \u00a0Best of all, it is often uncrowded. You can reach this park in about 5 hours from Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Tinker&#8217;s Creek Gorge, then walk over to Bridal Veil Falls. The Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail run alongside the canal that was once used to transport goods until the railroads took over. Brandywine Falls is another great water feature. If you aren&#8217;t all that keen on camping, there is a fantastic bed and breakfast nearby.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Saugatuck, Michigan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A short two-and-a-half-hour drive will get you to this small town that boasts a sweet state park (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saugatuck.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Saugatuck<\/a> Dunes State Park). It has about 14 miles worth of hiking and walking trails. There is also a secluded beach along Lake Michigan that you will want to check out.<\/p>\n<p>Again, if camping isn\u2019t your forte, there are plenty of hotels nearby.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. South Haven, Michigan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is one tow that is aptly named! Before your kids can finish a movie, you can drive to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southhaven.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Haven<\/a> and enjoy small-town life that includes a Maritime Museum, a century-old lighthouse, and fantastic Lake Michigan. It\u2019s perfect to soak up some sun or enjoy the multitude of water sports.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Door County, Wisconsin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In between Lake Michigan and Green Bay, Wisconsin lies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doorcounty.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Door County, Wisconsin<\/a>. If you are looking for some R&amp;R, fishing, and a bit of camping, you can&#8217;t beat Door County. The area encompasses 3 state parks, including Newport, Peninsula, and Potawatomi. All these parks have expansive beaches and water sports, as well as camping opportunities and hiking. All of this within a reasonable 5-hour drive.<\/p>\n<p>Stop at one of the many lighthouses in this area and you won\u2019t want to pass up the roadside stands that sell freshly picked cherries. Bailey\u2019s Harbor is something wine lovers won\u2019t want to miss. Also, \u00a0Stone\u2019s Throw Winery has wine tasting and live entertainment most weekends.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Carbondale, Illinois<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We don\u2019t want to leave our own terrific state out of the loop, do we? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.explorecarbondale.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carbondale<\/a> is about a 5.5-hour drive. You can get the best of both worlds with camping at Giant City State Park or you can head over to Shawnee National Forest, where there is a wide variety of wineries to choose from. With more than a dozen parks in this area, you are sure to find something for everyone in the family to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of which direction you plan on going, you will have some real peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is in tip-top condition.<\/p>\n<p>Plan on having your car, truck, or SUV inspected and the AC serviced about 2 weeks before your vacation. This way, if parts need to be ordered, you should have plenty of time to have your vehicle repaired so you can hit the highway on your set vacation date.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mymechanic.net\/appointments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contact My Mechanic today for an appointment<\/a>!
