Steve, I will put you both in. I think that I am out of tshirts though.
I included a link to the range website that lists hotels.

Steve, myself and a number of match shooters usually stay at the Super 8 in Warrenton. Clean and well maintained. It's about 10 minutes from the range.

 

[McStocks]

Thanks, Terry! We'll check 'er out!

The Quality Inn in Foristell is suitable, but there are many more dining options in Warrenton, and you won't get a ticket for going 3mph over.

Is it possible to go north on State Highway 47 to Hickory Lick Rd and then go across from there? Seems like it ought to end up at the same spot as the Highway AA route and I'm staying at the Holiday Inn Express, which is already north of I-70 on Highway 47.

 

[sdneil]

It is possible but you will go on some nasty gravel roads that even I cant name... your Hotel is one half block north of service road..go east on service road and left on AA it will be a hell of a lot easier for you...plus some of the creeks and rivers around here are flooded and high causing roads to be washed out and closed...I am sending you THE best way...Neil

Only one road left open so far. Rest have water over them.
Joe mike any road closing near you guys

Grab some fish while your swimming out, it's already going down in this area. No problems around here for the match.

Registration is now closed.
Now I can work on the squadding, and meals, and shirts.
Safe travels to all, see you at the range.

Perfect - thanks for the heads-up! Not a big deal to go the AA route, just saw the alternative from the map, which really can't give a very good idea of the type and condition of the roads. I appreciate the advice!

Joe's gonna need a vacation after this one. Cook in the hospital, tshirt guy crashed the program, rain threat thursday match, and so on. Everybody give him a hug at the match. Lol Glad to see a full house this time (70+) at what is a super match Sierra bullets has made possible for us! Weather forecast looks outstanding so far! David Lingle running our line is a great experience for even a seasoned shooter, "he is the best". Look forward to seeing everyone soon! Drive safe please.

 

[McStocks]

Super 8 in Warrenton it is! See you guys there, or we might get in early to shoot a few Friday afternoon....look for a couple of old dinosaurs with shooting coats and slings!

Any weather updates? I know you guys are getting hit pretty hard with rain. Is I-44 the only major road closed? Thanks in advance

The sun will shine Friday and things will look better. Just avoid the meramec river until the water recedes.
