We will be flying from the left coast to KSAF (to see friends) and then on to KFLD to park for AirVenture.
Not having much experience flying across the midwest, I'd love to get some advice and strategies that you folks use to safely get around this part of the country. I know the basic rules of leave early in the AM, stay clear of building CB at all costs, but I'm sure there are many other useful tidbits to think about as we head toward Mechanical Mecca.
We may file IFR but plan to maintain VFR along the route so we can visually deviate as needed. We have ADS-B Wx (and Traffic) which I believe works in this region now.
