Wonderful weather…
Jan woke up a little under the weather this morning so we decided not to do the St. Louis / Gateway Arch thing. Instead, around noon we drove up the road a piece looking for a Tractor Supply, a Walmart and a place to eat.
We ended up at a Colton’s Steakhouse and Grill, a small restaurant chain with stores in MO, AK, KY, TN and MS.
It was right across the street from a Walmart, so it was certainly convenient,
And it was good too! Kind of like a Texas Road House, or Logan’s Road House, complete with roasted peanuts in a bucket on the table.
After lunch we hit the aisles in Walmart for more ‘stuff’, and then stopped at a nearby Tractor Supply Store to try and find some more neat LED flashlights that I found at a Tractor Supply Store in Decatur, IN.
The weather for our drive was great today! Mid 70’s and sunny, going down to the 50’s at night. Couldn’t get much better.
Coming back home I dropped off some Gypsy Journals to the park office. Later I’ll drop some off at the laundry room too.
Before Nick and Terri headed south, Nick gave me a couple of bundles of the latest issue of the Gypsy Journal. As we head back to Houston we’ll drop some off at every RV park we stop at. We did the same thing last year on our way to Alaska.
We also spent a few minutes talking to the folks in the RV next to us while we were letting Mister roam around. They’re from Wisconsin, and although they’ve owned their coach for 7 years, this is the first time they’ve taken a trip longer than just a few days. They’re heading toward Tucson for a while, then maybe on to California for a while. Hope they have a good trip.
Tomorrow we’ll probably head into St. Louis to check out the Arch.
More then…
