Darren and I had a bull session recently. No, really! See him standing on the side of our road?

We have a plan, a location, and a time. For right now I am divulging the time so you may plan ahead. So mark your calendars - this is the weekend prior to Easter in 2011 (just in case my friend Jeanne is confused :lol: )

More details will follow.
Perhaps Miriam will make this a sticky for me. :worship:

Details (Gary went and guessed the location, so here is what I have gathered up so far):

Arrow Rock, Missouri
I-70 exit 98, north Highway 41

Location

Area map
Image

Des Moines, IA -> 213 miles
Mt. Pleasant, IA -> 202 miles
Omaha, NE -> 276 miles
Paducah, KY -> 338 miles
Pocahontas, AR -> 298 miles
Salina, KS -> 293 miles
Springfield, IL -> 221 miles
Tulsa, OK -> 338
Wichita, KS -> 303 miles

Cape Girardeau, MO -> 266 miles
Hannibal, MO -> 121 miles
Joplin, MO -> 221 miles
Kansas City, MO -> 109 miles
Rolla, MO -> 128 miles
Springfield, MO -> 161 miles
St. Louis, MO -> 164 miles

How to Get There

From Saint Louis
Arrow Rock can be reached by taking 1-70 to Missouri Highway 41 North. If you are headed West from St. Louis, take Exit No. 98. If it's beautiful countryside you're looking for, then the short drive (about 11 miles) to Arrow Rock won't disappoint.
From Kansas City
Traveling East from Kansas City take Exit 89 and follow the Arrow Rock State Park signs to Highway 41 North. The short drive (about 11 miles) through rolling wooded hills and rural pastures takes you through the picturesque town of Blackwater. If you're up for a backroads excursion, it's just as enjoyable and more relaxing to drive through the apple and peach orchards near Lexington and Waverly. From Kansas City take U.S. Highway 24 East, then U.S. Highway 65 East to Highway 41 South.
