A few days ago I sent some driving instructions from Kansas City or St. Joseph, MO to the conference site.  "The route to the conference from there is US highway 56 west to Kansas state highway 7, then north to White Cloud.  Once you are within the state of Kansas you can call 511 for road closing information."

The mention of U.S. route 56 was WRONG.  It should read US highway 36 (three six), NOT 56.   My bad; sorry about that.  

And Jimm is right.  There could be flooding on US 36 at Wathena, KS, just across the bridge from St. Joseph, MO.  The KS National Guard has been dispatched to this area to help with flood protection.  It would be a good idea to check with state authorities in MO, KS or NE before committing to a particular crossing point on the Missouri River.  

The telephone number in Kansas is 511 from within the state.  I'll try to find out for MO and NE.

See everybody soon!
