We left Hilltop Campground this morning and our goal was to get to St Louis today 300 miles or so. Our First stop was schedule in Kansas City right in downtown, which was a booger to find a place to pack this big rig, and see the The Treasures of the Steamboat Arabia. This boat sank in the Missouri River 150 some yrs ago. This private family along with only a few donors have escalated this old steamboat. It was a huge cargo ship so there were over 600,00 pieces of goods on the ship. No one died as it only sank in 15 ft of water but over the yrs it was about 45 ft under ground when found. It was truly unbelievable the thousands of perfect pieces they have cleaned and have on display. There are still many thousands they are still working on for display. It triply was unbelievable! A few hours there and some lunch and off we went again.
We discovered the Clydesdale Horse Ranch was just off Int 70 we were traveling on. We so wanted to go but after getting online I discovered they only take 25 reservations per day!!! And none available till Friday!!! REALLY!! A bit disappointing but it’s on our bucket list to visit again.
We are spending the night at Cracker Barrel on the west side of St Louis had a great meal and will be spending the day tomorrow in downtown at the National monument of the great Arches!!! We will be there when they open in the morning!!! Then it’s on to Candi’s (Rod daughter) in Nashville and visit for 5 days with her and the grandkids. Everyday is an adventure we feel so blessed to have seen!!
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
