October 13, Friday, Alton, IL near St. Louis MO.

We arrived at the Alton Marina two days ago, ready for some boat RnR since we’ve been anchoring out for a while. Since then we’ve enjoyed the hot tub and showers, done 3 loads of laundry, met 3 new fellow travelers and shared dinners with our friend John from the Barefoot Lady (Dodie is at a conference).

Today we are renting a car to see some of St. Louis. Our first destination is the St. Louis Arch and then we’ll go from there. We have tickets to go up top, and have to remember to bring our lifetime senior Nat’l Park pass we got last time we were home  – we can save $6!
