Last night it started raining (pouring) around 0300. At 1000 this morning it was still pouring! Kaylee was beside herself with all the thunder. Cath and I were worried that today was going to be a bust, but the rain slacked off around 1100 and we headed into St Louis MO & IL.
Got a few shots of the Arch on the way in to Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site. More on the Arch in a minute.
This is a really nice National Site. It reminded us of James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, OH.
Here's the house.
And another view. It's a small place. but very well kept. Kaylee enjoyed the walk.
Then we headed to Gateway Arch National Park. We saw this mural on the waterfront road. There were lots more.
This park is a must see! It's not just the Arch, but the museum that is under the Arch below the ground. It is the size of football field, maybe bigger. It's not dog friendly, so that was a bummer. We could have spent all afternoon there.
Here's a few views of the Arch.
It is really impressive when you are under it!
Although these sites were not right on RT 66, we had to see them. And YES, the passport is getting full.
Back at camp the State Park is still empty, maybe 15 campers for 367 sites! We still have our loop to ourselves.The storms are coming back in this evening, but we are happy for the respite we got today.
