We have spent the night with our new friends Missouri and Illinois and an old friend, Indiana. I take over the driving after we pass St Louis. We both want a photo of the famous arch. It is not lit as we thought it would be but the city gives enough light to get a ghostly picture. We reach Louisville in time for a picturesque sunrise and rush hour traffic. But there are no bottlenecks today and we cruise on through.
Donny takes over a short while later and I settle in for a nap. I wake up as we are passing through Charleston. I call Suzanne to let her know where we are and then get up with Kenneth. We are hoping to take everyone out to dinner tonight for a fun family gathering.
The fall foliage seems to be slow this year. Many of the trees are still green. Global warming. But some have turned especially higher up. We decide to take state routes 311 down the mountain into Roanoke for a switchback short cut off of I-64.
