Jim,
I grew up in western Kansas.
First time I went to sea while in the Navy remember thinking to myself how flat is was out there, just like back home in Kansas. Only differences was Kansas had telephone poles on the horizon just like in your photo.

Instead of telephone poles...sure it wasn't PERISCOPES!?

Jim,

That rock "wall" in the Rocky Mtn park...looks a little familiar from a year ago, no?

Yes Paul, that is where we stopped on the Rocky Mountain Run. How are you doing?

I was thinking about you when we were looking at the city skylines that were really grain elevators.

Day 37: Drive to St Louis

On Sunday we left Hayes, Kansas ad continued east on I-70. On a previous trip on I-70 we stopped in Salina, KS and enjoyed the sculptures in the downtown street. We stopped in Salina again but unfortunately, the main street was ripped up for repairs and there were only a couple of sculptures:

We were impressed by the very large grain elevator in Salina:

There is a neat old and apparently abandoned train station:

We continued east and stopped at the Kansas City Zoo. The zoo is small with relatively few animals and they were avoiding the 95 degree heat. We did enjoy the shark and ray tank:

And the Sea Lions:

The Polar Bear was asleep so Lyndi posed with the statute:

We continued east and stopped in St Louis, MO. We were met by Darren Wollmershauser and his Dad. Darren owns a beautiful 1996 Dark Purple C-4 Corvette and took some pictures and had a nice dinner together.

As we talked about ZR-1's I remembered that a long-time ZR-1 owner, Keith Moudy lived in St Louis, and owned a bar and grill named Moudy's. Darren and David took us there to see if Keith was there. He was not there on a Sunday evening so I left my card and I hope he will say Hi here:

Day 38: Drive to Cross Lanes, West Virginia

On Monday we left Port Saint Louis and drove east on I-64 to the Charleston, WV area. We drove through Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Traffic was heavy but moving fast on I-70 north of St Louis:

We had some rain in Indiana, but otherwise the trip went fine.

We put on an Audible Book and cruised toward home.

traveled I-70 twixt CO and home through St Louis many a time. Never one of my favorite segments (St. Louis) to travel - always jammed.

That said, I know at one time there used to be scenic tours where ppl could ride an elevator to the top of the arch to an observation deck. I don't know if it is still available, but if so, I'm sure Lindi could capture some stunning photos from up there! Justathought!
