[QUOTE="zzzzip, post: 1351205, member: 270"] Just my 2 cents on route planning: It would be good to keep in mind that it is the last big summer weekend, and if you want to go south from Jeff City you will probably have to go thru Lake of the Ozarks, which always has a lot of traffic during these times. They put in a good bypass 4 lane thru Eldon/Osage Beach and over the dam a few years ago, but there's still a bunch of traffic to contend with on US54 and other roads thru and around the Lake. No issues on the back roads, but that's the only way thru the Lake unless you want to take the long way around. As far as going east you can do either side of the Missouri River to Hermann or Washington, which are OK, but the better stuff is southeast of Jeff. Just don't expect to see much of the river. Roads between Jeff City and Rolla (I44/ Old US66), which is about and hour south are OK, but the good stuff lies south of I44. FWIW. [/QUOTE]
