St. Louis here we come!

We stayed an extra day in Harpers Ferry just lounging around and taking the dogs down to the river. It was now time to head to St. Louis, and our plan was to make it all the way across the state of Ohio in one day. So we left about 9am and started on our way. We saw lots of cornfields on this trek, and we must say that those in IL were looking a little scraggily and thin. Guess they haven't been getting enough rain.

Nearly 11 hours later we arrived at the parking lot of the Camping World store just outside of Indianapolis. They were closed, but we had been told that we could spend the night in their parking lot, which was quiet, well lit, patrolled by security, and there was electricity that we could plug in to. But best of all, up at the corner was a White Castle! Now for those of you not familiar with these burgers (affectionately called sliders or belly bombers), they're small thin square burgers that have 5 holes punched in them which are steamed with grilled onions and a pickle. They're similar to Krystal Burgers, only better! Of course, some people would say they are an acquired taste.

The next morning after returning some items at Camping World and picking up a few more things (of course), we started the rest of our journey to ol' St. Lou. The second half of Indiana seemed longer than the first half, and Illinois seemed even longer. Not much to see but farmland and not many towns between. But finally we could see the Arch off in the distance, and we knew we were close to the end of our trip. As we crossed over the Mississippi River, there right in front of us was the new Busch Stadium! How exciting! I didn't realize it was that close to the highway!

We finally arrived at the campground, passing a Steak 'N Shake just a few minutes away! Steak 'N Shake is another hometown favorite of ours, which we've missed, so after getting everything set up, that's what I picked up for dinner! Coming home never tasted so good!!
