Starting a road trip following the Lewis and Clark trail if CV19 does not get the airline tickets canceled like in 2020, ( the departure time has been moved twice already as has the equipment) or the rental car agency says oh sorry we don't have your cargo van after all, or the national parks and BLM say we are closing, enjoy boondocking in each states Wallmart, they will take your America The Beautiful Pass

.
Start in St Louis - MO follow the L&C trail pretty close with a few jogs off the beaten path. Hoping to make Hugh Glass days in Lemmon SD if things are not too crazy or it gets cancelled, Loop through MO KS, NE, SD, ND MT etc as far west as Idaho then back down via Montana Wyoming, then hovering a bit for all the Indian battle sites in the Powder river region. Still deciding to head south into Colorado or back towards the east ? I was going to visit Joplin and the old production plant just across the border in Kansas but the entire area seems to be getting hit hard. The tornado that flattened the city missed my old house there by 2 subdivision streets.
I have my vax but I'm a bit concerned as to what I could bring home if the thing mutates again. I'll have my toddler grandson back full time again then.
A longer trip this time, a mix of hotel air B&B, camping , canoeing in the MIssouri Breaks if I can find a livery operating,...... Will still hit museums if they stay open . I wanted to see the WW1 Museum in Kansas City and Amelia Erharts home just north, but with the region lighting up like it is who knows . I always hit the museums first thing in the morning anyway. Fewer people , the air has settled over night and they have cleaned. I have a method to road tripping during CV19 that worked pretty well last year on the trip up the coast to Maine. Will apply the same process this year. Around St Louis I wanted to visit the Indian Mounds just across the river and a few museums in the city and of course the Arch at the back end of the loop. If the airlines get bagged again I'll just drive the van home and turn it in there. Some nice parks along the way and the USAF museum in Dayton is always something to hit every few years .
People say UBER can't enter the airport is that true? I need to get one to pick up the van. Guess I'll have to use a taxi. . The train looked like a good option to get from the hotel to downtown.
What part of Germay are your from ? My mom came from Bavaria closer to the Czech border. She hated Mustangs and their pilots with a passion. She was 12 when the war ended.
