Courtney's pick: Gateway to the… East?


Courtney's pick - Gateway Arch


 Day 22 & 23
16 hours driving (most of it in Kansas) led us to our last stop – St. Louis.  While this city is known as the Gateway to the West, commemorated by the famed Arch, it served as our Gateway to the East.  We were grateful that we had a minivan and air-conditioned RV to tour the West, and not a keelboat or covered wagon like Lewis & Clark and their followers. 
View from the top: Busch Stadium




We rode in a slightly-claustrophobic pod to the top for a great view of the city and Mississippi River.   An experience Nancy missed on her previous visit to the Arch in 1987 with college-roommate, Roslyn (who knew you could go IN it?!).

Next stop: 2629 Kimbrough Circle. J
