Route 66 Memorbelia785 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.

Failed Attempt740 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 Ohio718 viewsThe flooding had caused lots of driftwood to pile up on the shores, making for an interesting photo opportunity.

The "Pagoda"713 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 Arch666 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 Necessity657 viewsA large bear, which for some reason I felt the need to take a photo of.
