Well I guess that did open a discussion... 1) Johnny, You got the big nail head regarding the "why get a hotel room for the night if you can't sleep with the 'bird outside and unprotected" question...(Weather can be a major factor here in tornado alley too.) I don't have a good answer either. There are few casinos in the immediate area. They got one in Tulsa, but as far as I KNOW, they'd still have to stay outside. I think the same bunch has one in OK-city. The Crowne in Tulsa has covered parking and the rooms aren't TOO pricey. At least when I've been there for functions. Its down town near the route... We can call ourselves some sort of a club, but thats not necessarily what I was after. As for the beer, I'm a St. Louis import man myself and from whats been posted, maybe the beer shouldn't be the common denominator for the group... The st(r)ippers however could be. 2) 400, I believe you're thinking of I-40, and I'm glad you enjoyed the cruising to the drive-in at the Joplin POCI convention. I the hippie that held the entertainment chair for the convention and set that up. 3) 67b1rd, Urbana does in fact make it a small world. When you're coming back, give me a little warning and we can meet. BTW, legs are one (two?) thing, Gas money from Washington, is a complete other issue. 4) salmon, You're the one to envy here sitting right on top of Route 66 every day. Heck I got to drive almost two miles to get there. Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like we've got at least SOME interest.
