Here are the directions for those who need them.

If you are coming from St Louis area take I-55 South to Festus/Crystal City area, (exit 174 I think) then take 67 South about 120 miles to Poplar Bluff. Stay on 67 business/ Westwood Blvd, do not take any exits . About 3/4 mile passed the Dodge dealer, you will come to your first stop light. Take a left at that first light onto Katy Lane. Go up and over the hill at this point Katy lanes becomes Barron Road. Continue on Barron Road to the first stop sign (about 0.9 miles), with water tower on the right. Continue on Barron Rd to the second stop sign, (about 1.0 miles) then turn left onto Main St and go up over the hill to first stop sign (about 0.3 miles), then turn right onto Wilcox Road. Take Wilcox Road up over the hill (about 0.2 mile's) and at the first street to the right, (there is a yellow sign with arrows pointing left and right) turn right onto Avondale. Go past one house to the first street to the right and turn right. We are second house on the left. Look for gaggle of VW's and at least one old MB.

If coming south from IL or the NE area of the US, take I-57 to US 60 to Poplar Bluff (I-57 just becomes US 60 in MO), and if coming by I-55 go to the I-55 & US 60 interchange at Sikeston MO. Take the 60 West exit to Poplar Bluff, approx 52 miles. At the second Poplar Bluff exit take the second exit for business 67S/Westwood Blvd. Once on business 67S you will pass the local Dodge/Jeep dealer, proceed about 3/4 mile passed the Dodge dealer, you will come to your first stop light. Take a left at that first light onto Katy Lane. Go up and over the hill, at this point Katy lanes becomes Barron Road. Continue on Barron Road to the first stop sign (about 0.9 miles), with water tower on the right. Continue on Barron Rd to the second stop sign, (about 1.0 miles) then turn left onto Main St and go up over the hill to first stop sign (about 0.3 miles), then turn right onto Wilcox Road. Take Wilcox Road up over the hill (about 0.2 mile's) and at the first street to the right, (there is a yellow sign with arrows pointing left and right) turn right onto Avondale. Go past one house to the first street to the right and turn right. We are second house on the left. Look for gaggle of VW's and at least one old MB sedan.

If coming in from the south of town on Hwy 67N (as some of you AR boys are) Take the 3rd Poplar Bluff exit. You will pass the local Dodge/Jeep dealer at this off ramp, proceed about 3/4 mile passed the Dodge dealer, you will come to your first stop light. Take a left at that first light onto Katy Lane. Go up and over the hill at this point Katy Lane becomes Barron Road. Continue on Barron Road to the first stop sign (about 0.9 miles), with water tower on the right. Continue on Barron Rd to the second stop sign, (about 1.0 miles) then turn left onto Main St and go up over the hill to first stop sign (about 0.3 miles), then turn right onto Wilcox Road. Take Wilcox Road up over the hill (about 0.2 mile's) and at the first street to the right, (there is a yellow sign with arrows pointing left and right) turn right onto Avondale. Go past one house to the first street to the right and turn right. We are second house on the left. Look for gaggle of VW's and at least one old MB sedan.

If coming in from the west, go to Springfield MO, and from there take US Highway 60 E to Poplar Bluff. It is all 4 lane except about 30 or 40 miles of the 190 miles to Poplar Bluff. You will take Hwy 60 W to the intersection of 60 & 67, at that point you will take the first exit (60E & 67S) and head south about 8 miles. You will come to an interchange, do not take any exits. You will pass the local Dodge and Jeep dealer, proceed about 3/4 mile passed the Dodge dealer, you will come to your first stop light. Take a left at that first light onto Katy Lane. Go up and over the hill at this point Katy lanes becomes Barron Road. Continue on Barron Road to the first stop sign (about 0.9 miles), with water tower on the right. Continue on Barron Rd to the second stop sign, (about 1.0 miles) then turn left onto Main St and go up over the hill to first stop sign (about 0.3 miles), then turn right onto Wilcox Road. Take Wilcox Road up over the hill (about 0.2 mile's) and at the first street to the right, (there is a yellow sign with arrows pointing left and right) turn right onto Avondale. Go past one house to the first street to the right and turn right. We are second house on the left. Look for gaggle of VW's and at least one old MB sedan.

For those going straight to the motel, go past the first light and the Super8 is on the right, next to the McDonald's and you have to turn into the McD's lot to get to Super8. The other motels are on down the road about a 1/4 mile on the left.

Just down the road about 3/4 mile and on same side as McD's & K-Mart is the Bluff Inn. Once close to Poplar Bluff, be careful using Mapquest and such, you might add miles & time to the trip.

If you have any questions just ask.
