Rd Trip with Dad Day 4
It has only bee four days since we left Calhoun. In some ways it seems like yesterday and in others bit seems like a year.
If you know me you know I love a road trip and it doesn’t take much to get me to hop in a car and go across the country. This is the second trip Dad and I have mede this year. In January we drove to OK and back for a class I went to. This trip was just to go, see and do.
Since Sunday we have gone througn TN, KY, IL (Chicago) WI (Milwaukee), MI (Minneapolis), IA, MO, (St Louis), Back through KY and as I’m writing this we’re less than an hour from Nashville.
Dad says there are now just 5 states he hasn’t been in. I’m going to have to get a map of the US and mark the ones I’ve been in to see how close I am to all 50 states.
Yesterday we started the day out in Waterloo, IA and drove 550 miles to St Louis. At St Louis we went up in the Arch (the second time this yr for me).
Of course we stopped at the Cabela’s outside St louis. Dad didn’t find anything there but I finally talked myself into a Gerber Machete that I’ve been eye balling. I’m slowly but surley clearing out a bunch of under brush at my place and I thought I’d give it a try.

We went up in the arch in St Louis. Dad is a little claustrophobic so I wasn’t too sure how he was going to do. Especially on the ride up and down. He wasn’t too sure about it either. You ride up in a pod with four other people and it’s a tight fit! Any way, he did just fine and said it was worth the stop.
It has been a great trip so far and I should be home in time to mow the grass. I’ll have the final pictures tomorrow. They will probably just be at the Bass Pro we’re about to stop at in Nashville.
