Just throwing out an idea...
You could stop in Rolla, MO and do some research on what appears to be a house surrounded by MV vehicles. Maybe take some pics and maybe see who they are and if they sell. I drove by there 3 years ago before I knew about this site and the hobby. It's on the right side of state highway 63 as you head south outta Rolla, just a few miles outta town from the Super Walmart. I remember I saw at least one GOER there.

SCott,
Not a place that you can shop - but definately a place you can stop. Just West of Rolla on I-44 is Ft. Leonard Wood (at St. Roberts, MO). On post, in a single building are three museums - Corps of Engineers, Chemical Corps and Military Police. Across the street from this modern, air conditioned building are several display vehicles, and a collection of restored WWII base structures (mess hall, barracks, etc., etc.).
All these things I found very interesting.
Have safe travels.
Regards,
David Doyle

On the east side of St Louis there is a town called Alton, Ill.. Sits right on the Mississippi river. This guy has landing craft, big trucks, gamma goats, lots of stuff along with a small museum of cool things. If you need better directions PM me and I will get them for you.

Hit Lambert's Cafe in Springfield, MO, on your way up. Actually in Ozark, MO, it's on Hwy 65 just south of Springfield. It's called 'Home of Throwed Rolls' for a reason. Also, the guy in Rolla, I've been told, is a real jackass (like Donkey from Shreck, moderators), and fetches a premium for every piece of olive iron he has. Where will she be attending? If you wanna hook up for some beers and pork steaks, I'll be happy to host. I'm pretty much on the way to town coming up I-44.

RE: Just throwing out an idea...
Oh boy, you want a steak. Yea, there's a few, depending on how much you want to spend. The BEST is called Ruth's Chris' Steakhouse. Figure on dropping about $150-170 there. At Sam's Steakhouse, you can figure on about $100. When are you making the trip?

RE: Just throwing out an idea...
The restuarant in the Drury Plaza near Chesterfield has a great steak, and though higher than Bonanza, is not too steep.
Fort Leonard Wood is in St. Robert, MO - at the FLW exit, north of the interstate, and west of the exit (base is south of the exit) is a MUCH better than average steak buffet.
Best wishes,
David
