Day 2 (6/16/07)

Today we continued our journey out west. Our adventures landed us in St. Louis, Missouri, where we visited the Gateway Arch. The challenge question for the day was, " How many stories high is the Arch?" Do you know? We found out that the Arch is actually named the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Gateway Arch. It was completed in 1965 and is 63 stories tall. Taylor Crawford had the closet guess of 60 stories. The most exciting part of the Arch was the ride up on their tram cars system. The tram cars are a 5 seat bubble that is like stepping into a space pod. At the top you can look straight down out over the Mississippi river. The Arch was a refreashing break from all the road driving. After our stop at the Arch, we hit the road again. We ended up in Boonville, MI for the evening.
