"Live" from St. Louis AAA Insurance Midwest Nationals 2012

Larry Hill · 09-27-2012, 11:46 AM

Well we are on our way. We were going to leave yesterday, but it looked like we were just going to be sitting in the rain there. So we decided to take our 7 year old granddaughter out to supper for her birthday since we missed it while we were in Charlotte. So we left this morning in the rain about 9 for the 3 hour drive to Madison, IL. It has now quit raining and we are looking forward to a beautiful weekend. It looks like highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. Just a perfect fall weekend.

More when we get there!

It looks like most everyone is already here, but if you are still on your way, the exit from I-64 West to I-55 North is closed. We ended up downtown! You should be able to take I-255 North and then get on I-55 South to get here. Also you need to go 203 South to Collinsville Road and come in the track on the opposite side and come all the way around the track to get to the round track pits. More later.

New directions; turn at Madison Bayou, go past Gateway Bay, follow the crab traps till you get to the pink crab trap markers, go through the Narrow Trinaous (stay on plane), turn up Big Muddy Bayou and you will see the entrance. Nothin to it.

Follow the couple with the proper stemware.

Jeff, I think that was exactly how we got here!

I just uploaded some pictures I took today and I also have some from last weekend coming home from Columbus. Here is downtown Cincinnati:

These are from driving here to St. Louis today. The colors are changing a little now.

And here is the Gateway Arch after we had to detour thru downtown.

This was taken about noon today and it was still foggy!
