Short Cut to LOTO?

What's the short cut exactly? No worries about narrow bridges cause I won't be towing, but I'm going to hit St. Louis at rush hour if I go the normal way, and I'd like to avoid that! I know Mark posted it earlier in the year, but I didn't write it down! Thanks in advance.

I think nomatter how you go, you're gonna have to go through St. Louis.

Call Mark, maybe he has an alternative.
Mark's # 708-207-6555.

Have a great time.

Never mind...I found it in the archives here. And no, I will NOT be staying here! Got a lot of gas to burn for the next weekend, though.

Mike, I dont know when your going, keep in mind its going to be a holiday weekend and you might be better off on the big road. I enjoy going the back way but sometimes it can take you longer depending on what time of day.Have a good time. Brian

If you fold the map right you can come up with some great shortcuts.

We took I-55 to Hwy 36 to HWY 54 south and it was terrible. Too many little towns to go through. Stay on the freeway and take the bypass of St Louis.

We took the St. Louis route down there and the 54 route thru Hannible home. Took the Hannibal route both ways last year. It's about an hour faster. We traveled at night both times.
