We left Paducah Tuesday morning and had an easy drive, except for some narrow lanes due to construction, to St. Charles, Missouri, about 25 miles west of St. Louis. Wednesday morning we went to the Gateway Arch, which is actually the smallest national park. We trammed to the top, got some views and pictures, and saw a movie downstairs about the arch’s construction, which was very interesting.
Thursday, 5/28: 🎶She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride.🎶 Props to Taj Mahal and The Blues Brothers! The Katy is KT, the former ticker symbol for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (M-K-T) Railroad, portions of which are now the country’s longest rails-to-trails system, and it runs right near here. We biked about 25 miles on the Katy Trail today. It was mostly shaded, flat, and hard-packed dirt and gravel. A beautiful day.
