The last three days we spent driving West toward our first destination - Santa Fe, New Mexico. So far we have covered over 1500 miles. Yesterday we traveled through Illinois, Missouri, and into Oklahoma.
We crossed the Mississippi at East St. Louis - St Louis. Saw the Arch
www.gatewayarch.com/ but did not stop to actually go in it. It really does not look like that would be possible but I know my brother and his family did do it a number of years ago. There is a beautiful new bridge in the distance that reminds us of the Zakim
www.leonardpzakimbunkerhillbridge.org/ in Boston.
We are sharing the highway on this trip with hundreds or maybe it is thousands of 18 wheelers hauling goods and food across country. It is amazing just how many are going both directions, lined up in the rest areas and the truck stops. Today going through southern Illinois and the Ozarks we saw hundreds of acres of corn and soybeans growing on beautiful farms.
Today across the rest of Oklahoma and into Texas. Our destination Amarillo.
