Come along on Shellshock's Midwest adventures! (Resuming now!)

SD not bad after you go down into the Missouri River Valley halfway across

lots of adverts along the way for WALL DRUG

Bear Country USA -- don't go there, big tourist trap!
I was wanting a bear to come up to my truck, I was disappointed

 

LOL wall drug. There are so many damn signs for that place. It’s like one of those pop ups that takes over your computer and is impossible to get rid of

 

this sign is in Antarctica

free ice water - 9,333 miles

 

When you come here we’ll go to big Joel’s safari lol

 

I’m set for May 17-19 in MO if you are @Cav_BluTRD. Ill probably bail on work early and find somewhere to camp Friday night. I’m down for anything, (Saturday and Sunday) TMOT or otherwise then head for home late Sunday afternoon.

Oh I can bring those bed bars too lol

 

is this exclusive MO event set in stone?
I just found out my 2nd cousin is getting married around the Boonville/Columbia area one of the early weekend in June 8th

 

Sounds good. I’ll start looking at the maps of TMOT and surrounding areas.

 

If you wanna wander Missouri, let me know. I’m trying to go south before it gets hot then make north trips farther into the summer where it’ll be cooler.

 

I will be in Missouri that weekend in June most likely for the wedding, my uncle lives an hour away in Sedalia (where I usually crash during a drive to StLouis in the past)

any chance you have anything lined up for Tacoma, WA? (next month or so, may need a ride to pick up a new-to-me old Tacoma at the port)
I am trying to plan on going to the Michigan takeover in August

 

Nothing planned currently but I’ll probably head west again 4th of July

 

you do like to drive a lot!
have you checked out all of the fancy new interchanges they built on I-29/I-80 in the Council Bluffs area

 

You guys let me know what you’re thinking. I’ll get the St. Louis Tacoma group going and see who wants to meet once we lock down dates.

 

been through there a few times and my truck navigation loses its mind cuz the road has moved. its great lol

 

we already did lol may 17-19

possibly again in June.

 

You’d think they’d get the maps updated with the new roads pretty quick. I mean it does update and sync via your phone

 

Oh again in June. Boom. I like it.

 

wait... the maps will update and sync off your phone? are you kidding me? I thought that was a paid dealer update thing only?

 

the only problem is that all those multi-lanes of traffic coming across the MO river converges into 2 lanes on I-80 under the overpasses and i480/75 interchange
unless my town is thinking of redoing all of that, most of that was built in 1989 so its heavily aged
we are forecasted to hit the 1million pop mark in the next 5yrs (all neighboring communities)
the only place bigger in NE is Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on a Husker football day

 

They should. That’s what the entune app is for. It’s supposed to update itself via your phone signal if needed. Maps are included from what I understand.

 

yeah that section of I80 that they redid is what my truck doesn't agree with.

Of all the places I've been theres that one and one in Minnesota I found on the way up to @Tigerian that aren't right. Everything else has been accurate.

The routing on the other hand can be interesting at times. I usually cross reference with something else to make sure it's not taking a stupid route.
