[Archibald leads the kitties and dogs to a hidden entrance at the
base of the arch. When he presses a button a door whooshes open,
revealing a large, well-lit elevator car. Everybody boards, and he
presses a button labeled "Top". The elevator ascends smoothly, and
in moments the doors open onto a luxurious carpeted viewing area.

A buffet table lines the western wall, with a large selection of
snacks. Roast beast, turkey, salmon, ear of sooven, and Fancy
Feast area available, as well as many yummy-looking deserts.

"Please, help yourselves to the buffet! And please notice that
towards the north end of the observation platforms are some
telescopes available for anyone who might be interested. You can
see well into Illinois, as well as a lot of Missouri. And there is
always a lot of interesting stuff going on below us on the
Mississippi River. If anyone has any questions about the Arch or
it's history, I'd be glad to answer them."



Samwise gets a plate and takes a little of everything to snack on.
Lucy Lu is more interested in looking at the sights with a telescope.
"I have a question but, not about the arch. What kind of ships are on
the Mississippi river?"

Lucy Lu

Cash-pup takes a look. "The big ones are mostly transport shippies
anna have the paerts dey lift ona big trucks ur trains. Dem midle ones
wif verandas, are cruise boats. Da ones dat look liek houses, are
houses! Dez called house-boats. Anna da bitty ones? Theze fishin
boats!"

Cash wanders over and snags a plate and starts loading up while Iowna
sniffs and selects with a smaller plate. Predominate on the plates is
good fresh Mississippi catfish. Daisy-chan goes for catfish and
crawdads.
