Road trip continues
[After clearing the police checkpoint the convoy again heads south and
west on Route 66. They stop to take picture of the Bunyon Giant ("Tall Paul") in Altanta, IL, and marvel at the phone booth on the roof of City Hall in Lincoln. Upon reaching Springfield they stop for a tour of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, then they cross in to Missouri. When they get to St Louis they stop at the Gateway Arch. As they are pulling in to the parking area they have to wait for traffic, as a large RV driven by a curly-coated cat and one driven by a large dog are just pulling out. Once they get parked they all marvel at the architectural wonder. They make their way over towards the base, and start looking for the tour guide cats. They're easy to find, as they're wearing red vest and gold caps. As the group approaches, the lead tour guide comes over to them.] Hello, and welcome to the Gateway Arch! I'm Archibald, and I'll be leading you through your visit of the monument today. This is one of Missouri's foremost attractions, and besides being an architectural marvel, it offers unparalleled views of the surrounding area. It was built between 1963 and 1965, and stands 630 feet tall! The Arch has an internal tram system to get humans to the viewing area up top, but we also have a much faster elevator system for kitties (and cat-friendly doggies) that gets us to the secret viewing area at the very top. Who would like to see the very top of the Arch? |
