Starting a 12 and a half hour drive at noon is a bad idea, mostly because its a really long drive. Towards the end of it all you want to do is go as fast as possible to get to your destination, in this case Springfield, Mo, but your eyes end up getting so damn heavy that you fear you may do a little drifting if you go too fast. Its a wonder why so many truckers are hooked on amphetamines.
St. Louis was great! The Arch is gigantic, t-v, movies, even our pictures don't do it justice. If you haven't seen the gateway to the west in person, check it out sometime. It is certainly a sight for sore eyes after making it through the landmarkless plains of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Not that those states don't have their own cool things to look at, but The Arch is an American Icon, just like yours truly!
Tomorrow is certain to be the longest day of our journey car-wise. The plan is to launch ourselves to the Grand Canyon by sunrise Tuesday for all the romance 2 straight men can handle. Not sure if that'll actually happen but if you don't shoot for the stars, you'll just end up howling at the moon. I think Yogi Berra once said that, any you all know how I love quoting Yankees!
