St. Louis , Missouri - Panama City , Florida ....Ride

Going to be headin' out Nov.7 for St. Louis ( weather pending ) . If its nasty in St. Louis then we ride south toward the sunshine state. We've rode to Fl. every year on this weekend for the last 8 years . Last Nov. we went to the grave sites of Duane Allman and Barry Oakley of The Allman Brothers Band in Macon , Ga then to The Okefenokee swamp to cross over into Fl. to vist Ronnie Van Zant , Steve and Cassie Gains , Allan Collins of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band.This years ride looks like if the weather permits its Graceland in Memphis and on to The Gateway Arch in Missouri.Photo is the resting place of Ronnie Van Zant.

Saturday Nov.8 thats also my birthday Weather permitting we'll be at The Gateway Arch between 11:00 and 12:00 noon ( est ).Do you know of a safe area outside the city we could stay friday 11-7 ? Perfer a clean single level park at you door type motel .I'll be coming in on I-64 and my Mississippi friends will be coming in on I-55. We need a hook-up point ???????? Any suggestions ?

Jerry we plan to stay in Belleville on friday night 11-7 ....You know a good place ? How far are you from Belleville ?

Bellville is about 200 miles South of me. Sorry I don't know anything about that area.
I know another guy that lives down there. I'll send him a message and see if he knows any places.
Smokey and I are talking about hooking up and meeting you in St Louis.

That would be great we are going to make the call on Nov 5 as to Panama City , Florida or St. Louis. ( We'll be able to get a good weather forecast by then ) We would rather ride to St.Louis cause we've did Florida the last eight years. Hope to get to meet you I've met Smokey and he's a good one.Lookin' forward to seein' you guys.

Let us know when you can.....
