Thursday

We made about 480 miles today, spending the night in Paducah Kentucky.  Not a bad ride, but the last couple of where the best, less traffic and fewer trucks.  Going through St. Louis was not fun.  Its not a real clean looking city from the interstate at least.  And there seems to be lots of construction.

We crossed the Missouri river about three times and then finally the Ohio.  The Ohio was a large river.  It meets (co-mingles) with the Mississippi just north of here.  The confluence of the two rivers, the Ohio being the larger of the two, becomes the Mississippi.

We should be home late tomorrow if we can handle that long ride.

Only took a few pictures today.

Dinner - We try to use local restaurants when we can (with the exception of Waffle House and Cracker Barrel.  This one is Captain's Place.  A restaurant and lounge near Paducah, KY and one half mile from the hotel.
