<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=5>Subject: Driving from Kansas City airport to
White cloud.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=5><BR><FONT color=#800080></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT
color=#800080 size=5>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."<BR><BR>The mention of U.S. route 56 was
WRONG. It should read US highway 36 (three six), NOT 56. My
bad; sorry about that. <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>The telephone number in Kansas is 511 from within the
state. I'll try to find out for MO and NE.<BR><BR>See everybody
soon!<BR><BR>Bob=</FONT></BODY></HTML>
