I-70 St.Louis to Kansas City & beyond ?
Thinking about heading west early next month on I-70 to Colorado & Utah. I read somewhere earlier this year that I-70 St.Louis to Kansas City was in very poor condition. Has anyone driven it lately ...

Can't advise on I70, but have an alternate to offer.
Last year we used route 36 across MO between Hannibal and St. Joseph. All divided highway and in good condition. We continued on route 36 across KS and picked up I70 again at Colby KS. Route 36 is 2 lane across KS, but little traffic. Perhaps a bit slower than the Interstates, but a much more relaxing drive. If you go that way, the Pony Express Barn in Marysville KS was interesting. Prairie Dog State Park near Norton KS was a nice overnight and had W/E sites.
