Mapquest has it as 5:33 (347 miles). Which means it is probably closer to 5:15.
Most (if not all) of it is freeway now.

I-380, which turns into US 218 once you cross I-80
South of Donnelson, you just stay on IA-27 (aka the "highway of the saints") instead of taking 218 into Keokuk, which will take you into Missouri and onto US-61, which will take you to I-64, which pretty much takes you to the Scottrade Center.

That's because it is a conspiracy and all the officials are out to get UNI, its players and its fans.

Re: Travel Route to St. Louis

Only piece of advise I have is don't run out of gas or take a wrong turn between the border and St. Louis. NE Missouri looks like the setting of Wrong Turn....

I think they should extend the "ave of the saints" designation along I-94 from St. Paul to St. Cloud. Just for the heck of it.

Get on the Avenue of the Saints. It is that road that goes from St. Paul to St. Louis. The more junk you see in people's front yards, the closer you are to St. Louis.

Leave a little early and you can spend some time with Tom, Huck, and/in their caves.

I honestly thought about putting the I-80 thing there, but figured there were some posters here that I didn't want to piss off.

I know some great people from southern iowa. as well as some great people form northern missouri. but it doesn't stop me from making fun of places.
