    The Corn Palace amazes me. Apparently they have a way of preserving it and have those pictures sealed.
    Thanks again for the tour.

    rad rides isnt much to look at from the outside but they sure build some neat cars. what better way to enjoy St Louis then to tour the Budweiser plant

    Many years ago when tent camping we did just that. Wrapped taters, corn, meat, etc in aluminum foil and put it on the engine as we drove to thr RV park.
    Yummm Yumm. As granpa used to say on Hee Haw. :D

    It's funny, I'm a compulsive overeater, and lately, I've been dreaming about 'manifold cooking.' Mom did that a long time ago, when we went to Yellowstone in '71. Talk about pull-apart tenderness!

    well were on the tour in st louis and stopped the budweiser plant ,saw the beer being made and the clylesdales. Then i headed down the road a bit and visited the farm of Ulysses Grant. the house is very original. From those few steps was inspired the song "How High is the water momma three feet and risen" by Johnny cash as this was his childhood home except back then it probably didnt look so open as this was a homestead property with lots of small farms

    so these give you an understanding of the tour in front of me and behind me. Then it was onto the Tupelo auto museum. it is a massive collection of mostly antiques buit with over 200 cars it is impressive
