Collinsville, Illinois

We decided to drive the 540 miles today from Medina instead of stopping earlier. Driving the interstate highways makes traveling much quicker and easier. We pulled into the motel around three. Of course we lost an hour as soon as we crossed the state line into Missouri.

I spotted these two water towers in some large city.














Bruce saw this across the highway - he said he wasn't as impressed with the Arch as he thought he would be.















We saw this huge cross and thought there had to be a church nearby. That wasn't so. It just had a sitting area underneath.














I'm hoping we have a comfy bed for the night. Tomorrow we plan on stopping in St. Louis to tour the Arch. Should be awesome. Got to pick out a motel in Tulsa for tomorrow night. Looking for something that is close to a good restaurant.

Almost forgot to add - it's warm here - will be putting on shorts tomorrow.
