so my move started today, I am living in a hotel until next Friday, I leave for Colorado Tuesday morning, My Navigation has me taking 70 all the way. I plan on driving from DC to St. Louis the first day, and from St. Louis to Colorado Springs the second, can you guys offer any advice on police hot spots, or good cheap hotels going through that area? I am going through Ohio, Indiana, Mussouri*, Kansas, and then Colorado.
 
96HotRodLincoln live in St. Louis... crash at his house!

I'd just drive it straight through... I am crazy though :D

Get me your e-mail addy and I'll shoot you the pictures of the house you wanted me to look at.

Police hotspots on I 70?

Illinois is a 65 MPH on controlled access roads, Dont do much more than 70 if your looking to avoid Barney. Misery is a little better on thier speed rules......(I run 80 MPH).....set the cruise at 72-73 all through Kansas and you will be fine.


To save an hour or so on your trip, take US 40 at Oakley Kansas, and that will run you to SH94 in Colorado. From that intersection it's a 95 mile straight shot into the Springs.

Let me know if you want the actual turn by turn directions, But I promise you, after 30-40 trips between Illinois, I know the quickest route.

Colorado Springs is very nice. You will like it. I lived there for about 7 years back in the 90's. The drive across Kansas blows, literally. It's nothing but flat and windy.
 
It is the best place - I have lived in Colorado all my life -

The song 'America the Beautiful' was written about Colorado - the woman who wrote it had just taken a trip to the top of Pikes Peak, and was so inspired by the beautiful view, she wrote the song.

Spacious skies, amber waves of grain, purple mountain majesties, it is all here.

And if you love the outdoors - you are coming to the right place. Hunting, fishing, camping, skiing, boating, kayaking, biking, 4-wheeling, lots and lots more!

I live between Denver and Boulder... This is what I see every morning and evening on the way to work...

Ah Lincolnx2 - we are far more liberal than you might think... the state went for Obama, both of our senators are Democats, 5 out of 7 of our US Representatives are Democrats, the state Senate and House are run by the Democrats, our governor is a Democrat.
