It was hard leaving friends in the morning, but finally we left a little after 9:30.
On the way to the freeway, we got stopped by a train, so I took that time to double check the straps on the van, yep they needed tightening.
The toll road cost a little less then $10.
We stopped for fuel and lunch at Flying J's in Joplin. I could not see any signs of the tornado from several years ago.
Next stop again was another Flying J's for more fuel of course.
St Louis is not fun to drive through in a big vehicle. Several of the ramps backed way up onto the freeway causing some major slowdowns. And that down town exit to cross the river is really bad! But of course you can see the Arch while we were waiting for traffic to move.
We stopped about an hour east of St Louis for the night.
Amanda started working on dinner and Mom M, Turquoise and I walked around the pond.
We watched two movies tonight.
Amanda noticed that a rain cell was going to move over so we put the Thunder Shirt on Turquoise and that did seem to work. He was a little nervous but not totally freaked out.
