Since Doc posted his route, I thought I would do the same. Usually when I have gone this way on my way to Tulsa, I have always gone via Indianapolis. We thought we would do something a little different for a change of pace as I think we will miss the Chicago traffic. We will head south of Chicago, per Google Maps, the time should be the same.
Here is the map and the text directions. I think we may try to knock out a couple of hours on Thursday so that we are fresh to visit on Friday.

Hold on..... Smithwicks@ .05 a bottle.... that just might be my deciding factor on going.....

Good Idea...
Here is my route.
(Cut out the bits about how to get out of the neighborhood. Heading north out of Houston.) ((Couldn't figure out how to put the map here.))
16. Take the ramp on the left onto I-45 N 198 mi
17. Continue onto US-75 N 72.8 mi
318 mi – about 5 hours 44 mins
US-75 N
18. Head north on US-75 N Entering Oklahoma 53.0 mi
19. Continue onto N Mississippi Ave/US-69 N Continue to follow US-69 N
165 mi
20. Slight right toward I-44 E Toll road 0.5 mi
21. Merge onto I-44 E via the ramp to Joplin Partial toll road Entering Missouri 55.8 mi
275 mi – about 4 hours 51 mins
I-44 E
22. Head east on I-44 E toward Exit 8B 199 mi
23. Take exit 208 for MO-19 toward Cuba/Owensville 0.2 mi
24. Continue on the ramp
Destination will be on the right 249 ft
199 mi – about 3 hours 6 mins
How much are the Toll Roads?
Thanks!

One more question...
Is there a link set up somewhere so the folks who couldn't make it view whats going on in Cuba while we're there?
Thought I saw it somewhere in this thread and can't find it now.
Hubby and friends would like to see what they're missing out on.

My complicated route
Merge onto I44 east bound at the 156 mile marker
Exit I44 at the 203 mile marker
cross over interstate turn right on North outer road
travel east 1/2 mile and I'm there, Cowtown
Guess if I get lost I can follow Bumblebee or Xpeschon.

How nice of a road is Hwy. 19 from Hannibal to Cuba? I plan on bringing my trailer, besides I enjoy traveling secondary roads more than interstates. Any advice about the road would be appreciated.

Here is the link to CowTown USA.. This is the dealership where everything is going to happen.. When you call you are going to want to talk to Len, he is one of the key players.. Be sure to mention to him that you are coming for the Spyder event and explain to him what you need and he will make sure it happens, he (along with the whole staff) are very professional and down to earth folks.. He may direct you to the service department but again, very professional folks..
See Link below for POC info:

I met Spydergene and his wife, Virginia for the first time today. We had a great lunch, and then we went out for coffee. More talking, more preparing, and discussions for our upcoming Fest. What a Fest we are going to have
Gene is a great guy, and so much fun to be with, I warmed up to him right away , His wife Virginia is such a sweet and lovely lady, like her a lot!
Ricky/the pitbull buggy , his wife Vanessa/Mrs. Pitbull Buggy , and Don/G-Man were there too.
There is still time for you to make arrangements in coming,
10 more days left

Gene is a character for sure. Have not met his wife - but heard a lot about her from Gene (and most of it was good.....). Anyone that would marry him deserves a medal...... .
Been checking maps tonight trying to make my final decision.
Google says 9 hours.
Mapquest says 8.5 hours.
My Garmin says 7.5 hours.
My only concern is the ride back on Sunday... gotta do the 530 miles all in one day... and I know we would be out late Saturday night..... Then again the trip back home always seems quicker than the trip getting somewhere!
I'll give my final answer soon.....
