schedule permitting I may swing by. Only 2 hours north of me.

:EDIT: and for those not native to the area, beware the highways US64/40 are all messed up (On Missouri side - highway is completely closed in some areas - I don't think bridges are effected but I may be wrong on that) so if at all possible avoid a route that has those roads.

But hopefully, flooding won't be a factor in two weeks and the 64/40 shutdown is only for a few miles.

Unless you live in Grafton near that mud slide.

The parts of 64/40 I was talking about aren't shut down for flooding (that I know of). It's been shut down for a while now for construction. Which...in St. Louis...seems to never end.

I don't think it'll be an issue though as it's more west of downtown STL. We just got back from a stay at the Children's Hospital up there and 64/40 was closed starting at 170 on due to construction.

Yep, 40 is closed between 270 and 170 until the end of the year. Then they're closing it between 170 and somewhere downtown.

**nst6563** · 04-02-2008, 03:52 PM

yep, that's it. They should put a sign up that says "I-40 closed until further notice. Welcome to hell."

Jesus Gizmo, an RV? Is there anything you don't have at your disposal?

It could be worse, I lived in Boston during the big dig. Now that was hell.

I left my M1A1 in Vegas, but other than that it's just a matter of time, although, I'll never put a 15" screen in any of my cars.
