The road trip to Metropolis, Illinois for Noel Neill's celebration of life services is just about set.

Heading over, I will be mainly on Interstate 40. Heading back, I will mainly be on Interstate 70. I will be staying at campgrounds or RV parks in The Beast. It should be a fun and interesting trip.

Unfortunately, the "World's Largest Ball of Twine" in Cawker City, Kansas is a little too far north and out of the way from Interstate 70 to warrant a stop.
