We be going to the rally in Effingham, plan to ride over to St. Louis Sunday and then go south on 3, what kind of town is Cape Girardeau? Looking for a stop over. Have you ever been down to Land Between the Lakes? Thought about going thru there on way back east, then toward Lexington.
Cape is a pretty nice town. Kinda typical mid-sized town on an interstate. Lots of restaurants and hotels, and a very nice riverfront area. If you like cajun, there is a fantastic restaurant by the river called Broussard's.

Land between the Lakes is beautiful, but i haven't been there since I was a kid, i don't remember much about it.

Looking forward to meeting you (and everyone!) in Effingham!

.....Also about 80 miles south of Festus is Cape Girardeau.....
LOL - I grew up in Carbondale, IL. We used to call Cape Girardeau "Cape Garage Door".
