six2go, If you like the blue roads, you may want to skirt St. Louis by going down the Illinois side of the Mississipp,i just east of St Louis, and cutting across at the
Jefferson Barrack bridge, then pick up 55 South to 67. You go through some Ozark Mountain foothills and if you go that way a good side trip is Big Springs in Mo. It is a really big spring! Johnson Shut Ins is a local "got to see" spot. Elephant Rock, Merrimack Caverns, Jess James place, etc. are in the southern part on Missouri.
Duly noted. Thanks!Originally Posted by oldxtreme
If you do go through St Louis, you can get from the east side to western subs in about 20 minutes, no real traffic. In St. Louis, it is worth stops at the Arch, Anhiser Bush tour, and the Butterfly House...really, the butterfly house is a little know attraction but it is fascinating, unless you are scared of butterflies!
Forgot to mention, if you are are interested in good food, good prices and a throwback to days gone by, try the LEFT FORK Diner in Salt Lake U. Off the beaten path but a local put me on to this place several ski seasons ago. If you can find it, you will enjoy the experience.
