Missouri was a beautiful drive. I was glad it was daytime when we made this leg of the drive. It has the red soil of Oklahoma (not quite as red, but still very red), and has these wild rock formations that are pushing out of the ground, that had to be cut through to make the road. Sure enough, there are a number of caves and other geologic formations of interest in Missouri. We didn't stop for them, but might have to go back for a visit!
We stopped at an antique store where we saw a REAL aluminum tree!! Don't think I didn't think for a moment if there was anything we could toss out of the back of the car to make room for it!
Saint Louis was a brick city that appeared to be both returning to the earth and revitalizing. There were old buildings being repurposed into loft apartments, next to others that were burned out and graffitied. I thought it was an interesting looking city, but we didn't even stop for gas, so what do I know?
We crossed the mighty Mississippi. We are officially East of the Mississippi!
