It was exciting to see the famous Saint Louis Arch, Gateway to the West, as we drove through the city. We were in full tourist mode with Becky leaning out the car window taking pictures of the Arch while I managed to navigate all 39 feet of our car and trailer in heavy traffic without bumping into anything! After driving a couple of hours on I-64 west with continuous tractor trailers and a strong wind blowing we once again decided to take the road less traveled. That road was Missouri highway 50 with occasional stretches of historic Route 66. We passed through many small towns with interesting names like Red Bud and Peaceful Village and had fun discussing the origins of their monickers. We have a Harvest Host site for tonight at The White Mule Winery in Owensville, Missouri. We met one of the owners, Charlie, who greeted us and gave us instructions on where to park. The wind here is quite blustery and will provide a gentle rocking motion of our travel trailer as we go to sleep tonight. Well that and the dry red table wine we got from Charlie.
Gorgeous sunset pic!
