Hey guys,, lemme know if I can do anything,, I grew up in So IL,, and actually live about 2 blocks from 17th St. I have another suggestion also,,, Kevin, "ADEEOS"

 

Duane and I should make it!

 

Alexis and I are planning on being there.
Ron maybe you could do a poll on the different routes.

 

Include me as tentative / slightly shorter run preferred

Straight shot to Centerville is 125mls - that makes it a '~300 mile / 8-hrs of driving day' (including a few added miles & time for the fun route & stoppages)

Just me thinking out loud .. please don't flame me: I just think ~200 mls / 6-hrs max driving would keep the fun factor up

 

yeah I know it's probably too long to the IL trip. I'm leaning towards eaglecom's trip for that reason.

 

Highly doubtful. Family in town that weekend.

 

FYI

We drive the listed route to Centerville from a point on Hwy Z three miles south of Wentzville often. The one way drive time is 2 Hrs 40 Mins (123 Mi) including a short pee - gas stop at Potosi.

You're still looking at a minimum six hours drive time total in a group.

We'll go wherever majority wants to go. Certainly up for new scenery!

 

Based on previous experience, I was allowing:

short pee / gas stop x 3
unintentional detour x 1
'pavement ends' x 1
find alternate lunch venue x 1
photo stop x 1

That's how 123 miles & 2 hrs 40 mins becomes 150 mls & 4 hrs

 

Can't argue with that!

 

Ok so which route is the shortest...... IL or MO
I'm so confused!
