Day 2

Lewis and Clark Museum in Nebraska Gateway Arch in St. Louis Missouri Facts about Gateway Arch: The Arch is 630 ft. tall. It is made of stainless steel and weighs 43,000 tons. The Arch is an inverted Catenary curve, which is often used in bridges, domes, and arches. The arch is made to sway one inch in a 20 mile an hour wind and up to 18 inches in 150 mile an hour wind. Visiting the arch was definitely worth the stop! Funny story--Steve's parents gave Steve a GPS for Steve's graduation, great little device, and it tried getting us back onto the freeway via the river. There was only one thing missing- a road. However, the GPS was wonderful and was VERY useful in getting us to Winston Salem and getting us around Winston Salem! I'm sure everyone who knows Steve and I and our few mishaps of getting lost can attest to this.

Day 1

On our way to North Carolina... Wyoming and Kentucky! Steve driving through the most scenic part of Wyoming, actually my family is in the most scenic part of Wyoming right now...sigh...getting ready to float down the river...longer...sigh...and hang out with all of the extended family..."No Steve, I'm not jealous!" (You never know who's looking over your shoulder.) Sleeping in a KOA in Kentucky. Can you say bugs?! Now take a deep breath and say--very big bugs! I had to tell myself I can do big bugs, I'm tough... Steve says "You were trepid but brave."
