It was a good driving day today and we logged a bit over 600 miles. We took I-44 east out of Oklahoma City and stayed on it all the way to St. Louis. There were tolls on the road in Oklahoma, $4.00 on each side of Tulsa; now we know why the rest stops are so good.
We crossed into Missouri very close to the Arkansas line and I saw a tanker truck with a big coffee sign. It made me wonder if he was providing refreshments for a large and boring work meeting somewhere. Sorry I'll be missing those in the future.
We passed through St Louis and the arch was very impressive. I was also hoping to get a good look at the Mississippi River as we crossed, but with the construction and traffic we didn't even get a peek. From St. Louis we'll be on I-70 east all the way to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
We ended the day with a steak dinner in Effingham, more than half way across the state in Southern Illinois. Only 785 miles left for home ..... I wonder how far we'll get on Friday.
