Well, i didn't stop when i went. I think it was 19 hours straight. Some good sightseeing (for me anyway), once you got into Missouri, the rock carved edges along the highways. We took route 70 west out to St Louis, then W on 44, and then south on 65. They said it was faster then going down 81 and then going out across 40. I dont know of places to stop and see, however i know of some FTE members along the way. JTharvey drove the 4 hours and met me down at BTS, however he wasn't there for a while and just visited. However he was down there just this past month and i dont know if he wants to go back, or that could be a stupid question.

 

thanks Kris, i dont want to make anyone go 4h , but if somone wanna meet up, ill be glad, i might stop by to see you , we can go and make another tire mark on your street LOL,

 

Not a whole lot to see and do in the Ozarks....unless you like endless miles of rolling hills and trees. Table Rock lake is only about 35-40 minutes from BTS, maybe an hour to Branson.

I can make Lead hill in about 2-2.5 hours, but since you'll be up there in the middle of the week I doubt I'll be able to get off work.

 

thanks Scott
i know it will be tuesday and people are working, so i dont want to pull anyone from their jobs,
ill see if i can get wireless internet for the trip so i can post a progress when on the road and keep in touch with the forum,

 

You going to get on Brian's dyno while you're there?

 

im hoping he will have time, and im hoping i can squeeze a peny for a dual pump while there, but will see
id like to get it on the dyno since i spent plenty of money on mods ,

 

Let's see...want to be there, and able to be there...unfortunately they don't agree. Being the gear head that I am, I always enjoy my trips down there and just hanging out at the shop talking with all the guys & seeing whats new.

 

I asked Brian about getting on the dyno, and he said that was Cale's baby. However i didn't bother him because he was kind of "heated" and busy. Jeremy i wonder if those hillbillies from MI ever got home on that flatbed... Were you there for that?

 

Yeah, I was there. I couldn't believe that rig made it all the way from MI. They had some definite, ummm, issues to deal with. Like the 4 trailer tires on the rear of their dually PSD.

 

Not sure if your into Caverns, but if yah take Kris's route in Springfield MO there's some pretty cool caverns that you can take a tram thru. I liked it and the kids did too. Country

 

You're talking about Fantastic Caverns. Pretty neat place. It's about 15 miles north of Springfield on Hwy 13.

 

Go on to Branso, Mo., if your are looking for intertainment. Plan on spending some time tho, it is not just a drive by, lot of things to do and see!!

 

thanks guys , i have whole week off, just have to be home by sunday so i can get some rest for monday , so going there ill try make it in a 2 days not killing myself, i have 1350 miles one way, but going back we planning on some stops like Elvis place and The Arch , somthing like that,,,,,

 

bring back a BTS for me..i would even go to long island to get it...



have a good and safe trip
