[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1147648, member: 18625"] I-70 to I-29 to I-90 is the route which you speak. If a stop in Des Moines is desired may I suggest Your deviation be to turn north after St. Louis onto 61N (Ave. of the Saints), this connects St. Louis to St. Paul. I took that route a few weeks back. Then take US 34W / 63 / 163 to Des Moines. It will add only 20 miles or so to your ride. Leaving Des Moines, the options are I-35 N (To #20 or I-90) / I-80 W to I-29. The stretch of I-29 running up to I-90 is loaded with deer, and in September … careful riding is advised even in the daytime. I-90 across Dakota will usually mean strong winds. I had a much more scenic route in mind but then realized getting there (Montana) was the goal with fewer miles ridden. I-15 in Montana has some nice sweepers in stretches and around most of them is a view worthy of a jigsaw puzzle… Love Montana! Have a great ride, and if you go through Ottumwa, IA : [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/154801-a-nice-day-in-iowa/?hl=iowa"]A Nice Day In Iowa - Ride Reports - FJRForum[/URL] The Canteen is a treat. Make sure you have a Breaded Tenderloin in the Des Moines area too! And for the wife's knees,"Aleve" some pain. [/QUOTE]
