april 14, 2015 St Louis

Linda and I made it into St Louis and after asking a few times we got to the Arch. there is alot of construction so some roads were closed and our gps ran us all over the place. Asked so construction workers and the gave us a short and easy way to get there. was unsure about parking, but the old church right at the Arch entrance allowed us to park there for a $5 donation. cool! we rode the tram to the top and took some pictures and then came down and saw the god movie about the building of it. went for a 1 hour river boat tour, but it was over rated but relaxing. we then drove to the old train station on Market st and walked around there for a while, but it seemed like a has been mall. I wanted to go to C and K BBQ(highly rated in a Must Eat there book I have) and let the GPS take us there. 8 miles NE we got to the place and it was a dump, in a rough looking area but I went in and ordered. there is no seating there so we brought the ribs back to the KOA park we are holed up in. 25 mile ride and the ribs were not that good. the potato salad was whipped potatoes with pickles mixed in and the coleslaw was mostly vinegar. overall it was a good day, the Arch being the best part
