Wow that sounds like a great trip!

[lovebus (jack)]

looks good, thanks Shawn.

Depending on time of day we reach Lincoln's tomb could we make it to Eureka the same day?

That's the plan....

There will be stops along the way, every day. Lincoln's tomb is just the first one mentioned


Speaking of which. Start searching the web for sites to see along the route

 Can We Stop at Jacks Place.. Hu, Hu, Can we-eeeeeeeee ?  :jump4jo":

Hey All,
I was there at Jacks Babes Place and The Rusty Bolt in August this year. We went on a Motor Coach (BUS) Trip through 8 states and the National Parks. We started in Colorado and ended in Vegas. We traveled on a little strip of Route 66. I got a few picts and souvenirs. It was cool. I had to tell the store keepers what cars they had on display. Go figure. Some were slightly modified which confused the non car guys and gals.  %$oldcit

Random thoughts...

We will need at least 2 Laundromat stops- I will check the KOA's

Dehydrated food & MRE's are the same price as fast food... Unbelievable

Ice will need to be purchased..Probably every-other day (or every third day)

Are we stopping, every day, for lunch? Are we buying, or preparing it?

Are we preparing Dinner upon arrival at the campsite, every night?

The KOA in Eureka MO is on Six Flags Rd.... Hmmmmm

  Last resort or perhaps even more so...
 
 I vote for the Ever Popular "WallyWorld" aka Wallmart Super Centers.

 Where we can replenish our needs everything from automotive to there Hot Meals..

 And don't forget it's always open and a Safe "Freebie" Stay over nighter. 
Besides there are usually other food stores etc example Fuel, Food like Wendy's, iHop, Waffle House, etc on the premises or close by..   thumpup)-

Not all Walmarts allow overnight parking.  Here's a guide to the NO park Walmart's:

Nice find KV!


Zoom out a little

[kvbug (karen)]

Yes, that's where I went first, and then fine tuned to the no parking list..

 Dry ice under a thick bed of  regular ice in a cooler, will keep things cold for a long, long time. Years ago at Flanders, Katie's hoagie was too close to the dry ice, and by lunch the whole sandwich became a weapon by turning rock solid.  Took a few hours in the summer sun to thaw it out........
