Gateway to the West - First Day

Gateway Arch - St. Louis, Mo., Our first Travel Day
June 7, 2010




At 5:45 am on Wednesday, July 7, 2010 Linda and I pulled out of our driveway beginning on our westward trip. The Martin s and Graces had left the day before and stayed overnight just south of the Tennessee State line. We caught up with the Graces south of Nashville and traveled with them on to St. Louis. Over 6oo miles and 12 hours later, we arrived at 6 pm. After setting up our RVs and having supper, we went to the Gateway Arch. This is the highest National Monument in the US. It is made of stainless steel and concrete. Above, are pictures of the Arch, called the Gateway to the West, taken after night with views of St. Louis from the top of the Arch. Tomorrow we continue our trip to South Dakota.
