September 7, Day 2,
St. Charles to St. Louis
and back.
Dilemma of the day: What does a 12'-4" bus do when
confronted by a 12'-2" bridge
 |
No, no. Not that old chestnut. Open the top vent and check it
out.
Photo at right by Kate Kirkendall. thanks Kate, you
earned yourself some beads. |

Marv's Marvelous experience tells him that many of these heights are
reported lower for extra safety.
Of course this is a made up picture.
I walked back and took pictures of the bridge, and the bus later, and
married them. I love my PhotoImpact.

 We
crossed the Mississippi into Illinois and came back to get this neat
shot of the Gateway Arch.
Among the other exhibits at Museum of
Westward Expansion under the arch is this tribute to the builders.

At the Lewis and Clark Boathouse and Nature Center in St. Charles we saw
the boats built by the members of the Discovery Expedition of St.
Charles, and used for a reeactment of the journey in 2004-2006. And Bill
congratulates Pierre Cruzatte.
