Best way to Omaha?

[MaroonState]

Through the delta and Fort Smith or through Memphis and Springfield? We’ve never been. Last minute decision to go. Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Memphis - St. Louis - Kansas City

"Mem-Stl-KC" and the "Mem-Springfield-KC" route seemed about the same time.............. both long.

True story. But have to drive this time.

Practice, practice...

Go through Arkansas. We did the interstate all the way back and it sucked. Cutting through the middle of Arkansas and Missouri was a pretty cool drive. It may take a little extra time but KC - St. Louis - Memphis was miserable

Didn’t see the “best way” option on google maps so I asked the pack. The pack knows all and sees all. Where is jack at shelter when you need him. **

It is a boring drive but it’s also the best drive.

At least through Springfield you will have a beautiful drive. Both are long as hell. No way around that.

Well, we know the best way will never be through oxghanistan.

Last time I was on I-70 from St. Louis to Kansas City, it was like driving on a bombed out field. I've never seen a rougher Interstate highway anywhere ... potholes everywhere.

Memphis - St. Louis - Kansas City

Biggest advantage of this route is BBQ.

Memphis - stop for ribs ( dry rub style is the best style)
St. Louis - stop for spare ribs (wet with plenty of sauce)
KC - stop for more ribs (wet with a dry rub base)

In 13 we went up through Little Rock, Fayetteville, Joplin, crossed over into Kansas and drove to KC, spent the night. Then about 2 hours and 15 minutes from KC to Omaha.

Came back through St. Louis at night. Got caught on 55 stuck in traffic close to Cape Girardeau for an hour and half as the State Patrol has all traffic stopped because of a tornado on the ground crossing the Interstate. Got to Winona at 1:30 AM. To drop everyone off at their cars then drove on into Jackson. Miserable and tired.

Through Oxford, then Arkansas (avoid Memphis - rough roads), Florida, piss break in Hoover, Florida again, Nashville, then you’re there.
