Day 2 - WV to MO - Saw Lisa

John and I made great time heading west today. I-64 is a breeze. We got to Fort Leonard Wood by 6pm CDT, early enough to see Lisa and Amanda Gist, her "battle buddy" (the friend she can't go anywhere without) for 30 minutes before she had to go back to barracks for formation. John and I will see her in church tomorrow, then spend the day with her.

We made one wrong turn today, and ended up in downtown St. Louis. Had a good tour past Edward Jones stadium where the Rams play, and Busch Stadium where the Cardinals play, and past the Purina headquarters too. John took what may be the only head-on picture of the Gateway Arch. I'm not sure if that's what did it or not, but at almost the same moment, some elevator in the Arch lost power and 200 people were stuck there for hours. Woo-oo-oo-oo.
