Visiting St. Louis
... we'll see... ;) I would have loved more time for us to spend in the Museum of Westward Expansion (which we visited after doing the tram ride to the top to take pictures), but we needed to move on to get to Kansas City at a reasonable time (and do our best to avoid rush hour). My favorite quote (as Amber had just watched a replica of an old-time silversmith talk to us) was "That was ...
WE GONE
Hey, we're on the road again. We finally got things in good enough shape to leave on
schedule on 10/14. We had a great visit with our friends, Phil & Doris Crain, in Cabot, AR.
We played Sticks Rummy every evening.s
We left there this morning and are now camped just south of Memphis in a very nice
campground, EZ DAZE RV Park. It was a short day on the road but tiring due to the wind,
not quite as bad as the day we left home but it still made ...
Trip up the St. Louis Arch
... took our 2-3 min ride to the top and got out.
At the top Mel was able to get some really neat pictures of St. Louis with the arch's shadow over it. After about 10 min Mel was ready to go down, because at the top of the 630 foot high arch on a windy day it kind of feels like be on a small boat on a choppy lake. The difference is of coarse in this scenario you can see that you have 630 feet to fall. So we came down in car 1. This time ...
Mini vacation!
We were in St. Louis again this weekend and somehow managed to book the Crowne Plaza for $50! Not only that but they gave us a room that the perfect view of the arch! We could see the whole thing and the park. It was beautiful!!! Our first night we just relaxed. On Saturday we slept in and found a diner near the zoo. I had a vegetable omelette and Jon had eggs with sausage gravy. The cofee was pretty good. For a diner in STL it wasnt bad..but we all know NJ has ...
Illinois 66 - the beginning
... an electrical fault. It kept blowing a fuse and wouldn't charge the GPS, which was OK on 66, but would be a nightmare finding my way in St Louis. I had to call in the harley dealership in Springfield for a quick fix, and due to lost time, had to take the dreaded interstate down to St Louis. When you take the interstate for the first time you seriously realise the difference. It fast, but dreadfully boring, I didn't even see ...
