I70 Road Trip
My wife and I are taking a road trip along I70 to Columbus, Ohio in early November (my wife's birthday and she wants to spend time with her sister there).
Any suggestions on stops to make or things to see to break up the trip?
We really aren't interested is seeing museums or some famous person's old house.
You might be able to catch a couple football or hockey games on the way. Haha.
Not sure, Last time I was that far east on 70 it was the middle of the night.. I was moving pretty fast also..

I'll watch this thread as we have friends that are moving to Ohio (don't ask why) in November. Eventually we're supposed to drive out there to see them.

That drive is boring, I do it alot. Take a few more days and drive the gulf coast then head north. It's flat unfilled the end of Missouri

Yeah, head east on 80, at least there are a couple of Cabellas along that one...

LOL +1, hate to say it 10x but...while I truly love that "mindless driving" time an I70 cruise is just about as boring as an I80 cruise. Fly
If you dig deep there's always something to "see" and great food abounds if you get off the beaten path but...if/when I make that ride it's "pound the miles to Columbus and just get it done."
The Arch maybe?
Made this trip several times a year for 30 years.
Not much between Denver and Kansas City.
Gateway Arch in St. Louis
Missouri Botanical Gardens
Anheuser Busch Brewery
grantsfarm.com (zoo) south of St. Louis - out of the way though.
Lots of places with "Caves", so stop if you see a sign for tours.
Cabelas outside Kansas City.
Indy Speedway is an ok stop. Take the tour bus around the track.
See if you can get a tour of the Lake City ammunition plant in Lake City, MO (Near Columbia, MO)
I can think of a lot of things more south along Interstate 64 from St. Louis, but you're not heading that way.
