Thanks Dan. My home is in Edgewood, +/- 600' higher than Moriarty and 10
miles west. Believe me, I'm familiar with the temp swings!

OBTW, the temperature was in the 70s this afternoon.

Hello all,
I'm getting ready to tow a glider from central Illinois to the
southwest.
Does anyone have any suggestions for motels that allow easy access &
parking for a tow vehicle w/glider trailer in the Springfield MO area
or
thereabouts?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
I've found room at most motels except downtown locations where I've had
to park on the street a couple of times. Pasadena, CA, required
neighborhood parking, for example. Also all of the motels that were on
motel/restaurant strips had room for park overnight. Quite a cluster of
about 20 motels off I-44 in NE Springfield, range of prices and
amenities.

I recommend stopping early and starting early and driving mostly by
daylight. There are a lot of deer out there at night.

Not quite winter yet, but the I70 and I40 corridors are more prone to
ice
storms than further north or south. Much prefer snow to ice and two-lane
highways over Interstates in 'weather' during winter travel.

Have a safe trip.

Just my $.02,

Frank Whiteley
