I am going on the Midwest Stromtrooper Rally in Pilot Knob Missouri. I am leaving Huntsville AL on Thursday August 5th and coming back Sunday the 8th. 
The rally ride Saturday is going to be a dual sport ride ride of 70/30 on/off road, but the roads will be mostly forest service roads and the such in the Mark Twain National Forest. 
I will be on my 2014 V Strom 1000. 
The ride there can be made to avoid highways some, but the ride back will be less fun as I have to work the following Monday. 
Below is a link to the stromtrooper page with some more information. 
I do have a room reserved already and have a spare bed if someone else wants to go.
