Several times when traveling north or south on hwy 19 in Missouri we have stayed at the Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Mo.
The motel is on 66.

It's a short walk to downtown to see the murals.

I have a route in Basecamp that basically follows Old Route 66 from Chicago to the Rally with stops at the 2022 Coddiwomple stops and few other select Old Rt 66 highlights. Pretty much done but want to review and recheck before I share it. Created for Garmin GPS but GPX file could be used in other apps.

Thank You all for the great suggestions. One of the problems I always seem to have is planning out the day's ride. I have found that taking back means doing about 1/2 of the daily 600 or so miles I'm used to riding.
Then, it's trying to find a campsite.
I did find a good looking App (The Dyrt) which should help me with that.

Nice campground in the Mark Twain NF
Sutton Bluff. You have to ride an easy Forest Service road to get there.

Thanks again everyone. I'm just going to pick my way from Cape Girardeau to Springfield. Probably stay off US60 if possible as that's a big red line on my map.

Thanks Paul !! My wife and I drove it on the way home from Springfield last fall and I really liked it. We were in a car and I know it will be even better on a bike.

Stop by Big Springs state park around Van Buren,Mo & see one of the biggest freshwater springs in the world.
Good roads over in southern Illinois around Garden of the Gods down to Cave in rock state park. Take free ferry across the Ohio river into Kentucky. Head west to Cape G.

Glenlivet and I will be crossing through northern KY into IN. We've used The Dyrt several times and the plan is to use it this time to find campsites in the Shawnee and Hoosier NF. In southern IL we'll camp near Garden of the Gods, then continue west on a string of backroads running parallel to and just north of Hwy 146. The shot below shows one scenic option to the rally from Cape Girardeau, though our plan is to drop south on 19 from Alley Spring into northern Arkansas.

Thanks Pete ... may use some of that for my return route. We had planned on looping up through Canada but since the original discussion with my group a few need to be home within about 4 days for the Rally end on Sunday so the Canada loop is out. Everyone is headed east with 2 guys headed back to Toronto area. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to meeting you ... well really looking forward to meeting glenfiddich. Have to remember to bring some of our niece's homemade all natural dog treats.

If you are camping at Alley Springs check out the large fresh water spring by the old red mill. You can see the water coming out of ground. It will not disappoint

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about that spring. We're planning to go west from Eminence and will go right by it. I saved it in my GPS and marked it on the paper map so we don't forget to stop there.
We'll come down from Hermann, Mo on 19 that day.
