MINI Takes the states STL---->INDY

This we know:

There is a road trip called MINI takes the states.
The local leg is STL----->INDY
There will be a caravan.

Here is the map to my place. I am thinking that this could be a good starting point, but if you guys can think of something better I am open to suggestion.

What we don't know is who want's to caravan? Time is ticking and I want to know and so does Scoobydew.

I am thinking about leaving EARLY on Tuesday and taking our time on the drive down. I have not driven 66 and I want to see some of the sights.

Here is a cool link with some of the sights worth checking out.

Hey, Blockh102!

Mind your manners! It's scoobydew!

Just 3 of us? I can't believe it.

I'd be happy to compile and assemble directions and maps to navigate Old 66, using older alignments that pass through the various towns. I'll be departing from Lake Shore and Jackson on Tuesday morning. We can meet there, or we can meet up along the route.

along the route is good with me. I am not too far from 55 and 47. I don't want to drive all the way downtown just to pass my house. Besides, I have seen everything from here to Chicago.

Directions and maps would be great. I know of another car that wants to do the drive with us but he can't leave till the afternoon on Tuesday. I wanted to leave early in the morning. What do you guys think? I was thinking that I wanted to take our time on the drive and still make it to STL early.
