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

I recommend stopping early and starting early and driving mostly by

Not quite winter yet, but the I70 and I40 corridors are more prone to ice

Have a safe trip.

Just my $.02,

Thanks Frank. I've done this drive about every other year, summer and
winter, since 2002. But never towing, so that aspect was not even on my
radar. I guess I'll probably use my La Quinta perks accumulated from
staying there when I was traveling with my dog...
