East to St. Louis. We wanted to see the Arch from the east side of the river this time. A word of warning, the St. Louis area is NOT a fun place to navigate in a car let alone in a motorhome pulling a car. Three navigators and two maps and we still crossed the Mississippi River twice before we finally made it to the little park on the east side of the river across from the arch. Good thing it was Sunday. The park has a nice viewing platform that gets you above the train tracks on the edge of the river.
Arch with historic court house in distance. Below courthouse, below green strip, is a set of stairs that seem to reach from one end of arch to the other. Last time we were here the river was half way up those stairs.
Carbus from top of platform.
Sue with local visionary.
Back across the river (another adventure) and west of St Louis to U. S. Grant Home National Historic Site. As always, well done visitor center with informative displays and videos. Learned more about Grant and his life in 30 minutes than I had ever known.
Grant Home.
North out of the city (YAY!!) and north to another RV resort. This one more typical. Not as folksy but still nice. Much of it cut back for the winter but looks like it would be fun in the summer. Best water slide complex I have ever seen including one slide that goes underground.
