I haven't seen I-44 bad all the way to Sullivan. However if you go that way I would get off at Stanton and take the service road to Bourbon, just in case. I know it has been backed up past the 2nd Bourbon overpass (where there isn't an off ramp), but I haven't heard of it backed all the way to Sullivan yet. Nor have I seen it backed up to Sullivan. However the service roads out of Bourbon are a nightmare at times heading west. So far driving on the service roads to Sullivan and back for us hasn't been bad.

It took them 45 minutes to travel Hwy 50 from 44 thru Union. After that they said traffic was heavy but moving. We still haven't left to head out there (for the Owensville Fireworks display) and are debating on whether or not to go Hwy 70 to 19 (to get to Owensville). Is it bad on 44 between Union and Sullivan? We can do back roads from Sullivan, but I'm suspecting getting to Sullivan is a nightmare right now too. Thanks for the Info!

Not only is 44 backed up so is old route 66 and even when you are like me and know gravel roads you still are running into a lot of traffic. It is supposed to be done within 90 days of when they started. Can't remember when that happened though. Currently they are directing all traffic onto old 66 with all on ramps being closed down between Bourbon and Cuba. So it is just crazy. And I am tired of driving it everyday.

Probably meeting at a Leasburg or Steelville resort. Just thought it would be fun to do. No caching involved though, just a day out on the river. Unless the Courtois is a decent level in August (which is doubtful) there is a cache located on it GCDF2. It all depends on if there is any rain in August. We both enjoy canoeing it and thought there might be others interested ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
