We departed the RV park after the rush hour traffic dispersed and made our way across the Mississippi into the city. Traffic was still very heavy. We found driving precarious. Folks were rather rude. Regardless, we weaved our way to the entrance of the park only to find a traffic jam waiting to get in. There must have been a half dozen tour buses sitting in a line to get through the gates. I guess I did not do my homework on this National Park for one has to buy tickets before hand. So much for this folly.
We decided to drive down the Mississippi on the Missouri side for a while. There were some interesting places, but not any we wanted to stop at. Dejected we made our way back to the RV park. There may have been some places worthy to visit, but the traffic was too heavy everywhere and to us, it was just another "big city."
Since we only had scheduled one day we decided to go out early the next morning to a park on the Illinois side of the river, just across from the Arch, and take a few photos. This turned out great for it was cool and the kids loved getting out with us. We spent more time than we had expected and got a late start to our next destination, Memphis, Tennessee.
