Thanks Ken, I've been looking at all of the suggestions.

When I started regularly making the trip from here to Illinois several years ago there were 3 places I hated going thru, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, and Kansas City. I found a way to bypass Albuquerque completely, I use the Kilpatrick Turnpike around OKC, but so far haven't found a way around KC.

The only other option is following 40 thru to St Louis and then 270 North. I used to go that way but between going thru St Louis and the Illinois drivers, I'll put up with KC
