Hi All,
Sorry for the confusion regarding Rt-70.
I am using the Good Sam Travel Planner to chart this trip to Albq NM to visit with family. We will travel from MA thru PA where we have traveled before so we are fine with this part of the trip.
Good Sam then has us take "I-70 west towards Columbus OH" We will camp in Zanesville OH at Wolfies. GS then takes us again onto "I-70 West". We plan to avoid E St Louis IL and St Louis MO (as recommended here) , cross the M. River along Rt 50/I-255/I-270 thru Mehlville MO.
I had looked at a mapquest type photo and it looked like I-70 was a small cement road. I guess I have just gotten used to black top highways here in the east and thought all major highways were like that. I was wrong. Shhh. Don't let my Hubby hear that :-)
Anyway. I guess we will stick with I-70. If anyone has a better way to get around ESL IL and SL MO, feel free to let us know.
As always, Thank you!
