Getting Water

We managed to get on the road by 8 a.m. We stopped by Wal-mart to get osme ice and water for the road. We headed out to our first destination. Terre Haute, Indiana. We have recently bought a Garmin GPS system and are learning how to use it.

McDonalds in Sullivan Missouri

It was 79 degrees first thing in the morning this morning. I am glad our car’s air-conditioning is working well.

We stopped about 9 a.m. in Sullivan Missouri for a short breakfast at McDonalds.

Mississippi I wanted to take pictures of the arch in St. Louis, but we went through St. Louis at ll a.m. …not a good time of day to take photos.

Arch

 Best photos are taken in the morning before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. The light just isn’t good for photography during mid-day, so we decided we’ll take another road trip just to St. Louis and do some sight seeing and photography.

You can see the engines lying on the side of the road in this one.

We came across an accident on the east side of St. Louis as we were headed through Illinois. How can something like this happen during the day, sunshine everywhere and light traffic?

The truck is ready to be hauled off.

Some kind of truck his another truck that was carrying some big

engines or something and it crunched the back of the larger truck, engines were all over the road and the traffic was backed up for three miles and building. Thank heaven it was on the other

side of the road.

This is the semi that was hauling the engines.

The traffic backed up for three miles and building.
