Gateway to the West

We drove non-stop for 20 hours to St. Louis. Along the way we switched off driving every time we stopped off for diesel, which is about 300 to 500 miles. While in St. Louis we stopped to visited the Arch; it stands 630 ft high and it takes 4 minutes to reach the top in a small ferris wheel like car with just enough room to seat 5 adults. At the top is a fantastic panoramic view of St.Louis and the Missouri River.
