Heading now to St Louis. 
Planning on taking the tram to the top of the arch and a steamboat up the Mississippi at Noon. Then off to Kansas City MO and Kansas City Kansas. Where we will head north and end in Nebraska
Parked on the Levy- it was dry
Had a stow away on the boat: firefly
Facts we learned about St Louis and the arch
Bloody Island: did not belong to Illinois or Missouri so there was no "no duel" law. So people would go to battle it out
Barges: filled back first. One boat can push up to 40 barges. Barges have the right of way.
steamboat trip was great but wasn't true paddleboat
The arch: 630 feet high. Largest building in Missouri. Tram to the top involved small pod for five people takes 4 min to get to the top.
CRazy street performer wailing songs next to the margarita truck.
Just drove the length of the state. Ending in Kansas City - both Missouri and Kansas actually.
Saw some fountains. The federal reserve and a beautiful World War I memorial monument. Now. Off to Omaha for the night. Almost at the half way point. Estimated miles to go to Cleveland :1300. Planning on walking around Omaha. Staying at a Hilton Garden Inn. Two nights. Oh. And really... Declan had to relieve himself in the woods. And needed to document it. He might have even live streamed it. A story for another day.
