[AT] Re Driving to Unionville Missouri

[charlie hill]

I'm personally more concerned about the 30,000 drones about to be deployed 
above the USA.

Of course maybe they'll get all the street address errors straightened out. 
Maybe ATIS could invest in one of those drones to search hedgerows for
old iron?

You mean Google Earth is wrong again?  I have entered known street addresses 
into it, and had the program identify places that were several miles away 
from the real target.  It makes you wonder about our military guiding drones 
into remote areas from the comfort of their air-conditioned offices that are 
half a world removed.

Hey, you're in my neck of the woods.  I'm in Kirksville, MO.  As an 
alternative to I-80, I'd consider I-70 to Indianapolis, then get on I-74. 
It shows it ends at Hannibal, MO, but actually it is 4 laned all across MO 
as US 36 (I-74 turns into US 36 so there is no change in road), although 
it's not limited access so no Interstate designation (it's now called the 
Chicago/Kansas City Expressway: 
http://www.gredf.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/CKC-Chicago-Kansas-City-Expressway-Map.pdf). 
Then in Macon MO, hop on US 63, which is also 4 laned to and just past 
Kirksville, MO.  It will be 2 lane on up to just south of Lancaster, MO (a 
real good 2 lane with wide shoulders and good grading, ie no sharp hills), 
where you can take 136 on into Unionville.  I-74 across Illinois is very 
lightly traveled for an interstate, at least from Springfield on and is a 
pleasant drive.  I really don't care much for i-80 around Chicago. When we 
go to Chicago from Kirksville, MO, I always take I-74 t!
o Springfield then on into Chicago on I-55.

I-70 into St. Louis would be considerably out of your way.
