Hey guys,
So ive popped up here with a few questions kn our trip and had great help which we've gone onto book.
We're now onto the final plan of our US trip..
Our final leg is from Colorado, April 23rd, arriving in Shenandoah, April 25th. Its a drive through Kansas, Missouri and Kentucky.
We are looking for 2 stops along the way. Any interesting stops, camping (electric hookup) we have a pop up camper.
Thanks in Advance
So it would appear that you are under a time constraint and need to get there rather quickly. One thing I would recommend is taking US 36 from outside of Denver all the way across Kansas and Missouri, and then drop down to KCMO. By my calulations you'll be driving a good 8+ hours a day.
Along the above route, there's a good place to stop in Seneca KS -- H E R E - Bailey's RV Resort. Best you'll find along that route and puts you about 1/3rd of the way to VA.
A good place to stop and stretch your legs is outside of Lebanon KS -- The Geographical Center of the Contiguous USA. Well marked to get there, just a few miles north of US 36. Nice rest area, a marker, some picnic tables and a tiny chapel. A "bucket list" location ;-)
Lovely post. Thank you.
All others, we appreciate the heated debate between 70 and 36. It really is a get home, with one last stop in Shenandoah, end to the trip. We we look into the two routes, I wonder if they change over to change things up over the two and a half days
While we may slightly disagree with the time savings on the drive on RT 36 vs I-70 I think you can easily see we ALL Use IT (Might even say we all recommend it) - so the proof is in the Pudding as they say. Much of the drive is still on a divided Highway - when you get further out west the towns tend to be small and usually just short of an Hour apart ;) so the inconvenience is very slight. Less traffic - fewer trucks - just a pleasant drive. Might just have you drive each and get back with your recommendation on the prefered route. :)
Enjoy your trip,
