St. Louis
Yesterday we drove until we could barely drive anymore, through the hills and valleys and forests and fields that span from Maryland to Missouri. At the end of the day we called it quits at a Residence Inn in St Louis, happy to have seen so many sites but glad to be back in the Midwest. The flatlands and sweltering heat of Oklahoma never sounded so appealing!
Before setting off towards home-sweet-home this morning, we met up with my dad’s good friends from high school, Jim and Terri Warwick. Now St. Louis residents, Jim and Terri helped us find some great photo ops of Busch Stadium and the St. Louis Gateway Arch. My dad and Jim were also able to relive some childhood memories, as my father sported a Yankees jersey while Jim’s grandson, Trevor, wore his best Cardinals gear. As kids my dad and Jim always argued over which team was better, and the dispute has yet to be settled to this day.
Now we’re headed southwest to the great state of OKLAHOMA! We’ll take a few days to rest and do some laundry, then it’s back on the road to finish our adventure in San Francisco!!

Holy Moly…you’ll be in OKC this weekend? Can I help you do laundry or run some errands?
I’m waiting for you to make it big and have your own reality show…”Propane, it’s a gas too”
I might come by the house and touch the truck and say hi.
So cool! The blog entries are great and makes me feel that I’m traveling along. The DC and Civil War sites were the best …. loved that propane truck in the foreground of all those monuments! Keep on keeping on (on propane)!
