I was just thinking about that at lunch walking outdoors in balmy 8 degree temps!

Weather Channel had the LOTO temp at -15 this morning!

I bet the in town portion of 54 will really be messed up the first holiday weekend. People going toward Camdenton will try to stay on the north bound lane where it separates. They won't know where to cut across to get to the stores on the north bound lane. It will confuse folks until they get use to it.

But those folks going through Osage Beach will be really happy not to screw with the traffic. And the scenery on the bypass is pretty nice.

That's why in mid August when it's 99 deg with 100 humidity I don't say a negative word about it, just think about days like these last few weeks.

Must have been. My truck wouldn't start.

Went over to O Beach two weekends ago and I was lost I didn't know which way was up. I'll figure it out eventually but for a first time through, it was very confusing.

Yea, with the new highway it's definitely different, just wait until this coming fall and Phase two is completed, which is from the GG bridge to a few miles past KK.

When it's completed it's going to save me about 20-30 minutes (off KK) when heading out of town towards Jeff City.

How bout some pics?

Of the new hwy or what.

Here's some pics from yesterday, it was 65 and sunny, great boating weather.

Just boating pics from the best spots on LOTO. Thanks
