We'll be meandering along the Mississippi from the Headwaters at Lake Itasca all the way to Kentucky on our trip to Bowling Green.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we shouldn't miss along the way?

TIA

We'll be at the St. Louis Arch, mid-day Wednesday.
Do you want to try and hook up w/us there?

Our plan is to be through St. Louis by Tuesday evening to roll into Bowling Green Wednesday noonish. E-mail me your cell number and we may hook up if we get delayed along the way.

I'll talk it over with Mrs. poSSum. It would be cool to roll in with a convoy. Teri, if you can get me your route from St. Louis to Bowling Green we could possibly wait for you on the east side of St. Louis.

Don't mean to butt into your plans, folks. However, be aware that the East Side (Illinois) of St. Louis near downtown is not a place where you all want to be waiting around for people. Please be careful!!

We wish all of you that are going the best of times. I wish we could go and be a part of this but it was not meant to be for us. To much going on and a trip to San Antonio that we can not change. You all please be careful driveing the long trips ( Teri & Steve ) and everyone else that is doing the cross country driving. Keep it safe.

I agree with the arch. Hannibal (boyhood home of Mark Twain) is also worth a visit. If you take Highway 61 through St. Paul, you will be within 4 blocks of my house when you get to Cottage Grove. Feel free to stop by for a break.

Does this mean you will be joining us for the final leg of our journey? It's such a short drive to B.G. for you!
