Members in Topeka or ST Joesph, MO

looking for a member in the Topeka area that can tell me what the road is like between Topeka and St Joseph, MO. Leaving Topeka headed towards Springfield and this is the way that Good Sam trip planner is sending me.


Thank you

    Good for you. I never saw the OP's prior posts. I was thinking Missouri and not any of the other 24 states that have a Springfield.
    Now I know. Thanks

    This part of your post what's confusing.

    You don't go to St Joe from Topeka on your way to Springfield :h

  • Sorry for all the confusion, I should have said I was headed to Springfield, Illinois not MO.

    Pappaone, reading your earlier inquiry about I70/I80 heading toward Indiana, I suspect you are referring to Springfield, Indiana instead of Missouri? I agree, US 4/59 to St. Joe from Topeka would be my preference then.

    I tend to meander in my travels

    You would be correct. Live in KC. The darling daughter lives in Topeka. We camp at Perry Lake frequently and have traveled 4 as far N as 16 hwy. 4/59 is almost a "super 2" with 1/2 lane gravel or paved shoulders.

    4/59 is a good way to go or if you prefer Interstates I-70 E to I-435 N to I-29 N will do as well.

    Safe travels to you and yours.

  • I live about 100 miles from St. Joe. If it were me, I would either take 75 north to 36 or take I-70 to I-35 although that would involve tolls.

    59 will be OK if you aren't in a hurry.
  • I would bet that if you lived in Topeka or St Joseph, MO. you would know what road I was referring to. But since you probably don't I will tell you it's highway 4 and 59
  • Humm, it might help to know what road you are inquiring about.

    In spite of what the rest of the country believes, there are many roads and highways in the center part of the USA. Believe it or not there are even cities with more than one stop light. Just watch out for the cows running freely around.......:E
