Today we woke up to a nice day.. finally, not too cold.  Spent the morning shopping in Branson.   Scott  bought some calfskin cowboy boots and Eric bought some shark skin cowboy boots at a western store.    That makes two pair of boots for Scott and now 12 for Eric (catching to you Jim!!).  

After getting some breakfast and returning the rental car, we headed toward St. Louis.

On the way to St. Louis we passed through Springfield, MO, home of Bass Pro shops.  Decided to stop because this is the biggest one... and it is HUGE. something like 250K sq feet.  We spent about 2 hours and only saw about 1/2 of it.

Afterwards we headed on to St. Louis.

We were rushing to get to the Gateway Arch before it closed but a couple of wrong turns thanks to not understanding the GPS we made it there 10 minutes too late for the last tour of the day.. *sigh*.  

Decided to get some St. Louis BBQ, and headed to a place called Fat Toney's.   Had good reviews but wasn't that great.. just average. 

After dinner he decided to go a bit further down the road and headed across into Illinois and then on to Kentucky.

Spent the night at the Flying J truck stop in Oak Grove Kentucky.   This was our 3rd night at  Flying J and once again, they were very friendly and hospitable to RV people!   And the discount on Gas definitely helps!
