 I don't have an atlas handy, but if I recall correctly Hannibal Missouri is a little north of St. Louis. If that's the case, I would recommend taking I believe it's 63 south from Rochester, MN down to Waterloo, IA. When you get to Waterloo there is a road that heads east south east and will run you right down to Hannibal, MO. I will look at an atlas later and give you the exact road numbers. The speeds limits are pretty quick once you get through Waterloo. This is the same exact route I took down to Pike County Illinois this past Oct/Nov.

Ok, from Rochester you take 63 south to Waterloo, IA. It does have a couple turns so keep your eye on the signs. Especially in Spring Valley, MN you turn at DQ. Take 218/380 East or South out of Waterloo towards Cedar Rapids/Iowa City, IA. Once you get through Iowa City it just turns into 218. When you get through Fort Madison, IA  just make sure your headed toward Canton, MO. It looks like the road number changes to 61 when you hit Missouri. Just keep on that road right down to Hannibal and you can keep going straight down to interstate 70 just west of St. Louis, MO. Don't worry, once you get through Waterloo, IA it's almost impossible to get lost. Well have fun on vacation and remember when traveling in uncharted areas, ALWAYS CARRY A MAP!!!!!

Skunkman's son is getting married in Alaska that weekend.  He doesn't want us to change the date because he will probably spend several weeks up there.   Cry

BBW stands for Bow Building Weekend.   It's an excuse to abandon the family for the weekend and build traditional archery gear, play archery games, tell tall tales of past hunting trips, eat good food, and drink homebrewed bear brewed by Dave, the Skunkman (hence the name Skunkpiss Beer).   So basically it's just a get together at Chad Holm's of Holm Made Bow's place for three days of fun.
Did I miss anything?
