    We have loads of time yet, before the "Infestations" start forming...
    ... But I'll be leaving from the Catskill Mountain region of New York State...
    I'll probably take Route 80 out to Pittsburgh...
    Then switch over to Route 70; which gets taken to St. Louis...
    And finally: a quick trip down Route 44!

    Is it "no rooms available" or no rooms at that rate or no rooms for the event before 4/28? I am coming a day early & they had to make 2 reservations - one for the event dates & one for the early nights - & got the event rate for both.

    What day are you all planning on traveling through St Louis? I will be in the St. Louis area for a couple of days before visiting with friends. I'll be in within a 10 minute drive of 141 and I44 that be a good place to meet up if possible. Last year I met up with other Spyder Riders there it was great.

    Travel plans aren't yet set in concrete...
    I would normally hope to leave early on Monday, and ride out to Columbus or Springfield in Ohio.
    Tuesday would be the final day of travel down to Springfield...
    But I don't know who I'll be travelling with yet, or what their preferences are...

    Default Typical weather for this time of year

    I'm thinking of going to the big event this year but had a couple questions for some of the veterans here. Have you run into any issues with salt on roads this time of year traveling from the northeast? I'm assuming there is ample to do for new folks and opportunity to meet and greet with people.
    Thanks in advance for any info and advice.

    Can't help with the roads because we come up from Arkansas, there's more to do than you can do in the allotted time, and if you stay at one of the host hotels, you will meet more good folks than you will be able to remember. These are very friendly and comfortable events.
