Day 15 - Travel Day to St. Louis, Missouri

By:  Carl and Jo Ann Phillips – Adventure 16

Today is a travel day --- time to see what's around the next bend of the road.

The road had lots of hills and curves some were like being on a rollercoaster and did

you notice,  "The Hills are alive with" -- "color."

The Town of Louisiana is called the Mural Town There were several murals to see as you drove through town.

Then near Clarksville is Lock and Dam 24. We were lucky to see a Tug that was pushing

15 barges of scrap iron go through the lock.

Also along the way we could see the farmers harvesting their crops.

When we reached O'fallon it was Interstate time.  We worked our way to The St Louis West KOA to set up and relax until travel briefing time.

Later when it got dark a fire was started so we could have s’mores and doughboys and enjoy one another’s company.

Looks like some good doughboys coming up
