Exploring the Midwest Discovery Route: A Journey to Moore Expo

Hey everyone, welcome to the Momentum Podcast! I'm your host, Chris Holloway, and today we have an exciting episode lined up for you. Joining me is my great friend, Lee Odom, who is working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. Today, we're diving into the details of the Midwest Discovery Route, presented by Midland Radio.The Midwest Discovery Route is a thrilling 200-300 mile journey designed to bring you to the Moore Expo from four different starting cities: Kansas City, Little Rock, St. Louis, and Tulsa. This route is the most fun and scenic way to get to the Expo, featuring water crossings, old bridges, mines, and more.We discussed the evolution of the route from its predecessor, the S'more to Moore, and how we've expanded and improved it. With the help of Ryan McAllister, who has an extensive knowledge of the Midwest's backroads, we've meticulously mapped out these routes using a combination of Google Maps, satellite images, and historic maps.One of the highlights of the episode was our discussion about the rally book, which participants will receive upon registration. This book includes turn-by-turn directions, coordinates, and a list of campsites along the way. We also touched on the importance of having a reliable vehicle and the flexibility of the route, allowing participants to run it at their own pace and even in segments if needed.We answered several listener questions, clarifying that you don't need a Midland Radio to participate, although it's recommended for communication. We also emphasized that the route is designed to be accessible for various types of vehicles, from Subarus to Sprinter vans.Additionally, we announced a video contest where participants can submit their best route videos for a chance to win $500 and have their video featured in future promotions.Overall, this episode was packed with valuable information about the Midwest Discovery Route and how it enhances the Moore Expo experience. We can't wait for you to join us on this adventure and see all the incredible sights along the way. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you at the Moore Expo!
