Day 51 and 52's Plans - ReRouting and Bridges

I thought I would outline a few upcoming cities and items we are planning. I did not do this yesterday, as we needed to talk about a few more details, first. Things change quickly out here, but as of now, here's our next few days plan:
Today (Day 51!), we travel to Charleston, MO. This will be around 38-40 miles, and includes some obstacles, and possible re-routing, due to a connection with the Interstate (57). Most likely, we will use 62, that runs parallel to US60/I57. This will all occur around the Sikeston area, and 62 will take us on into Charleston. It's a few more miles to do so, but avoiding the Interstate will be worth it. We will stay at the Super 8 in Charleston.
Then, tomorrow, Friday, we will travel into Kentucky!! Our plan is to get to Paducah, Kentucky. Yet, this day has its own obstacles. Two, long, narrow bridges. One over the Mississippi River, then the next over the Ohio River. Both bridges do not have s shoulder, and are not safe for pedestrians. We plan on using the State Police to assist us with this. We were instructed by the State Police to call about a hour or so, before we reach the first bridge, for a escort. This ought to be interesting. If we find another option, we will consider it. But for now, that is our tentative plan. There is a Super 8 in Paducah where we are plan to stay. Total milage will be around 47-48 that day.
As we move through these days, we will determine what Saturday will hold for us.
I hope your Thursday is a great one! I'm rested and ready to go.
