[Harri Roadcat climbs into the HarriMobile, an RV built on the body of a
Freightliner Classic XL with an extended frame, and fires up the diesel engine. The remaining kitties and diggies board RVs and kittycycles, and Mikey Furface's crew directs everybody into a line, Mikey himself steps up to a periscope and begins to scan the surface area in front of Navy Pier. Seeing no traffic on Grand Ave, Mikey signals to a kitty standing at a control board. A switch is thrown, and up on Grand Ave a set of steel bollards rise to block Grand Ave, and the street beyond the bollards begins to sink, forming a ramp from the under-pier area to the surface. When the ramp reaches it's lowest position the vehicles move out with the HarriMobile in the lead. The convoy heads west on Grand to Michigan Ave, then turns south. They pass the Hard Rock Hotel and Millenium Park with it's sculpture called Cloud Gate (better known as The Bean). On reaching Adams St and the Art Institute the convoy turns to the west. Harri picks up the intercom microphone and addresses the convoy:] Ok, kitties, dis is da beginning of Route 66. Up dere, less dan half a mile ahead of us, is Willis Tower. Mine hoomins still call it Sears Tower. Just after the Tower we will cross da Chicatgo River. [A couple miles after turning onto Adams, the convoy turns to the southwest on Ogden Ave.] |
