Kansas City to St Louis

The ride out of Kansas City was in good weather at 85 deg f. took fwy for a while then off the main rd and through some farming country. Some cattle in yards close to the house to keep Hugh happy. Looks like they mainly feedlot a few cattle as there were almost no fences. Some winter wheat, but farming generally still to wet for cropping for a couple of weeks.

Hit St Luois. Did a trolley tour. Could not get to the base of the arch as the high river had flooded the park.
of barges tied up and tugs next to them. Saw some unloading saw dust and one area loading coal onto barges.

Did some driving around the area and saw lots of farming on the river flats. Again a bit wet to pluough but interesting to ride and look. On Monday the weather was so good almost every one in the rural areas were out mowing their lawns. Mower sales would have been the boom field this week. Lots of green grass, almost no garden. Different.
