Kansas & Missouri

SEPTEMBER 2011 UPDATE - I just returned from visiting the National Corvette Museum and a Caravan Captains Meeting and I wanted to bring your attention to our proposed route from Columbia, MO to Mount Vernon, IL (our lunch stop) which is about 215 miles and will allow us to avoid virtually all St. Louis area traffic.

We are planning our launch point from the Columbia, MO area where we will gather at the Bass Pro Parking Lot with a 7:30 AM launch time August 27, 2014 with arrival in Bowling Green late that afternoon.


In 2003 we launched from Independence
with approximately 1000 Corvettes that morning

In route to Bowling Green from Columbia, MO we are planning to travel Interstate 70 towards Saint Louis and will meet up with other caravan participants along the way, once we are east of Saint Louis we will regroup near O'Fallon, Illinois Exit 14 about 10:00 AM where we will meet the Saint Louis area participants and from there we will travel another 60 miles to Mount Vernon, IL where we will stop for lunch, then travel a short distance into Indiana and then on to Kentucky this leg of the trip will be approximately 410 miles. We have scheduled an arrival time at the National Corvette Museum for 4:00 PM along with the other caravans traveling with us and I anticipate we will regroup once again while in Bowling Green just prior to making our grand entrance.

Our actual route from Columbia, MO to Mount Vernon, IL will be I-70 east to I-370 for about 10 miles merging into I-270 East (Chicago) for another 14 miles crossing into Illinois and merge into I-255 South towards Memphis for another 10 miles and merge into I-64 East for about 70 miles. By following this route we will the Saint Louis downtown area and East Saint Louis, IL with less chance of getting separated or delayed by the local traffic.

And while the caravan is several years away, we look forward to working with each and every Corvette Club and Corvette enthusiast in Kansas and Missouri.
