    Dan, thanks for that. I hope that I don't need it.
    Would it be a good idea to go ahead and post
    mobile numbers for anyone attending in case
    anyone needs help?
    That way we can compile a list before we hit the
    road.

    Mine is: 919-632-Seth (7384)

    I am planning on heading out Wed. evening, arriving Thurs.
    and leaving Sun. morning. I may be travelling with Tim Wilmoth
    depending on he and his wife's work schedule.

    We will be travelling from S. Virginia and Central NC along I-40
    into Tenn. Right turn and up through Kentucky somewhere.

    Seth

    Matt,, heading out tuesday morning. Going to find my way down central IL and hit interstate 64 at Mt. Vernon. Too much construction going on around St. Louis on 70 to even mess with it.

    Most of the construction on 70 is on the Missouri side. You can bypass this by taking 270 around the city or highway 40 through it. You can check this site for current traffic and construction. Also if you know approx what time you are going through St. Louis you can look at the webcams at a similar time to get an idea of the traffic.

    Mapquest tells me to catch onto 64 via going down 61 in MO. I drive 61 daily, the worst fricken road anywhere. I drive St Louis area 3 times week, everywhere in and around St Louis. I also drive around the entire midwest. I am taking 72 to 55, 55 to 16, 16 to 189, 189 to 51, then some short road from Salem IL to interstate 57, just a short jog then I catch 64. I guess in reality I am not wanting to drive the same roads I have been driving the last couple months. I got caught in an accident/construction site yesterday on 270 in IL. Good thing for AC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dan, I hear you, on avoiding traffic. The section where 61 joins 40 and 70 is a mess in Wentzville. I told Matt to take 40 to avoid the mess.
    What do you do that has you in St. Louis that often?
    If your ever in St. Louis and want to kill some time. I'll buy you a beverage of your choice, or lunch/dinner depending on the time of day. I work off of 270 just South of 70 on the Missouri side. (Westport Area)

    Thanks for the website Allan, I was hoping there was one, but I did not know where to find it. I have stayed in the Westport area a couple times when I was in St Louis. I think the last time was on the way back from the Roundup last year. Maybe. My memory is getting fuzzy. :D

    Dan is Gasoline Alley the new station off of 44 at Bowles? Fenton is only 8 miles from my house. I'll PM you my cell number.

    Matt, whenever your in town give me a shout you have my number. Westport is the area at Hwy 270 and Page Ave.

    There is also www.traffic.com they are working on some new stuff here is St. Louis with road monitors. They cover about 25 cities.
