Hi,
I'm traveling from southern MI to the rally via back roads. I would appreciate any suggested scenic routes/campsites/restaurants along the way in southern IN, IL and MO.
Thanks very much.....
I would suggest that you slab it to Cape Girardeau MO (there is no benefit to 2 lane roads in the middle of IN/IL) and then head west from there. Lots of camping and road options west from there to Springfield.
I like southern Illinois and Indiana
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.
That is a good route!
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.

If you are camping at Alley Springs check out the large fresh water spring by the old red mill.
