I know starved rock is another one that gets mentioned but it usually has way too much traffic and is too short for any kind of real fun. Way too small for our cars and not worth it, imo.
Hmmm I wonder if it was a different section of blackjack road? I just went earlier this year and didn't encounter any construction.

Agreed on starved rock - it has a really great stretch of road but it's too slow, too much traffic, and way too short to justify making the trip out there.

Below is the route some buddies and I took back in June and it turned out to be a blast. The waypoints are just there as reference so that we stay on that specific route when plugging it into the GPS.
