The wife and I had our first weekend drive together in the 7.  From St. Louis, took Hwy 100/Route 66 to Wildwood, then turned off on St. Albans Rd for a more rural stretch, then Hwy V before heading north to Washington.  The link is video from a stretch on St. Albans.  No Tail of the Dragon or anything close, of course.  But, a fun hilly and somewhat winding road (a bit bumpy).  Sorry for the audio.  That terribly annoying rattling is the license plate vibrating against the plate frame.  We couldn't hear it at all during the drive, but due to where the camera was mounted, it's really loud on the video.  Fixed that with a couple zip ties.  The photo is from a pit stop in Labadie, MO just off St. Albans.  Neat little stop with cozy bar and grille.  And on weekend afternoons, you are sure to see LOTs of awesome cars and bikes, as it's a common stop for those out for weekend drives.

I was hoping that we could make it to the Jeff City gathering, but unfortunately I have to be out of town that week.  But, I'll keep an eye out for other Midwest gatherings.  Melissa and I would really enjoy that!

We try to have events once a year. Usually mid May to mid June. We've held them in mid and southern Missouri, Northern Arkansas, and even Oklahoma. Yes, there are curvy roads in northeast Oklahoma!!!!!!! Russ
