    WideLoad,,,,,,why can't you all make my life easier by putting up a bridge to cross the Mississippi River into Kentucky instead of me having to go up through Missouri, use their bridge to cross the Mississippi, go into Illinois, then use their bridge to cross the Ohio River to get back down into Kentucky??????

    Don the only other way to get directly from Mo. to Ky. would be the Dorena - Hickman ferry across the Mississippi (if it's not closed due to high water) and you get there before 6:30 PM (last crossing from Mo.). The easiest way will be I-57 exit 1 to Hwy 3 south then in a couple of blocks Hwy 51 south through Cairo Ill. (make sure and watch you speed through Cairo) to Hwy 60 east and your favorite bridge to Ky.

    but if I get lost, surely some of those fine young gentlemen hanging out on the corner in Cairo, would be more than glad to help me out,,,,,
