Route 66 Memorbelia974 viewsPartway across the bridge was an information area, with some nostalgic signs, an old gas pump, and an old car. In this picture, Cathy poses near some of these.

The Arch, again929 viewsOne last picture of our friend, the Arch.

Failed Attempt925 viewsWe tried another "remote" picture similar to our one at the arch, with the two of us at Union Station, but it didn't turn out very well. Here it is for your enjoyment anyway.

Driftwood at the Falls of the Ohio905 viewsThe flooding had caused lots of driftwood to pile up on the shores, making for an interesting photo opportunity.

Water Intakes861 viewsFrom the Old Chain of Rocks bridge, you can see a pair of old water intakes, which serve the City of St. Louis.

The "Pagoda"860 viewsThe bus tour took us around the racetrack itself, which was cool. The racetrack is called "The Brickyard" but I never knew why. Turns out the whole thing used to be paved with bricks. Most of them are still under the current asphalt surface. The picture to the left shows a new "pagoda" which was built for scorekeeping and the press. Evidently in years past (the track is almost 100 years old) there was an actual Japanese pagoda in the same location.

Posing near the Arch856 viewsWe were thrilled the way this picture turned out. Our new digital camera has "remote" feature, and we improvised a "tripod" out of some objects we were carrying.

The Bear Necessity854 viewsA large bear, which for some reason I felt the need to take a photo of.
