If we could hook up with the FBI in Kansas City we would be like hoodlums in ZR-1's. A bunch of hoodlums in fast cars. TROUBLE.

To get to I-70, you guys will hop off of I-29, and hit 435. From 1-29 435 is like a big box, that goes south down the west side of KC, then it goes east and west south of I-70, then it goes back north on the east side of KC, and you can pick back up I-70. Like a big box that lets you go around the city. Gates BBQ is located on the southern most east and west leg of the box. From the restaurant it is 10 minutes back up to I-70. So you almost have to come down that far anyway. Here is a link.......just hate to have you guys miss out on that good KC BBQ! Here's a link to make it a little more clear. Focus on where I-29 picks up 435, and then follow it around should make sense. Interact with the map to the north, and to the west up by the airport to get the I-29/435 connection.

Going to St Louis, I have always taken the East to South part of that box by Worlds of fun, etc the catch I-70 right at Arrowhead. Is that the way you describe our route?

So, if we go south on I-435, we go past I-70 and then follow I-435 back to the west to the BBQ place?

Yep that's the way to go.........HOWEVER after further research there is a Gates BBQ much closer to the 435/I-70 exchange/Arrowhead stadium area. I have never been to this location, but I'm sure they are all good. ( actually I think I have been to that location before a football game CRS? ) The one I would propose would be at 10440 US 40, which can be caught east right off of 435 just before I-70, then US 40 runs right down onto I-70.....no back tracking on the way, and right off of the highway.....this is what I would suggest. Much much easier for you guys. Google says the first location is 16 minutes southwest of I-70. This one is right on the way.

Here's a link

Jim, sounds good to me. I am familiar with that area.

Someone riding shotgun could just pick this up on the way!

It might get you there?

Mike, a bunch of us are staying at Keith's. He has a thread started in Off-topic about who is staying with him. Check in there if you'd like to stay at his house.

I am staying at his house as a back up plan if I can't get one of his hot employees to take me home
