Final Cities?

Actually the gateway post I was refering to was from my brother. I need to stop posting right before bed. Sorry, no soup references in our name.

There is another casino out in the sticks. Just off the interstate at the junction of US400 a few miles back towards Joplin. I'm thinking we may backpedal and spend the night there, or in Joplin.
Personally, I'm with you Jim......some of the most beautiful roads in the country available and it looks like we'll kamikaze down the interstate again. Really disappointed about that.
The Daryl Starbird museum is nearby, and so is this:

World's largest McDonald's here will be torn down starting in February and renovated to the tune of 12 million smackers.

I am thinking maybe not Collinsville anymore... maybe we will just have to wait and see.. Maybe more like Columbia, MO or something too, or something on the West side of St Louis at least... Hot Rod and FE got lots of grief about the long interstate run last year! (however it was a good chance for a nap for me, the only day my co-pilot drove)

excellent observation.......while I had been thinking that Gateway International Raceway would have been their choice (it still might)......Columbia, MO, might be a decent choice, given distances between stops...
