Since Herman Days will be going on and our overnight stay needed some fine tuning, directions and meeting point have changed!

Using McDonalds in Eureka MO (44 & 109) as a starting point, the route will take us through some of the most beautiful and scenic roads in Missouri.

The Route (blue and yellow on map) is approximately 625 miles of scenic driving around the West side of Mark Twain National Forest, down into northern Arkansas with a evening stay in Black Oak Resort in Oakland Arkansas (about 275 miles into the trip). Then heading back into Missouri on the east side of Mark Twain National Park north into St. Louis

That will be a nice drive. I was through there last spring & enjoyed it quite a bit. I'll try to make it.

 

Count me in. I will drag some of the boys and girls from the Ark-La-Tex group with me.

8-Ball could you post this on the North Texas group? Im sure some of them would be interested.

 

Will do.

Looking forward to meeting all of you

 

eh, count me out.. too far north for me to make it. esp since my wife says she wont come with me if i go

 

We will see - all depends on how the wedding plans are going - getting married in Kohala, HI June 4th...

Then again, if they aren't finalized by mid-May, I'll need a break. When do you need definite go/no-go?

 

I'm trying to get commitments by 1/15. I can probably wait until the end of January, early February at the latest for final confirmation so we can get our rooms reserved.

 

Hey Mike,

You might want to update the thread on the STLPC site as well. I know there were some members interested in coming...
