I complete the journey through Illinois and enter Missouri
 | Funks Grove |
where they make the best tasting Maple Sirup
 | Dixie Truckers Home |
Time for lunch
 | Tall Paul muffler man |
In Atlanta, IL. Adapted to advertise a hot dog joint, which doesn't seem to be there any more
 | A painted mural in Atlanta, IL |
 | Another muffler man .... |
.... this time, sans muffler, or anything else for that matter.
 | Carlinville court house |
The million dollar courthouse
 | The Chain of Rocks Bridge |
spanning the Mississippi between Illinois and Missouri. One of the few bridges that changes direction part way across.
 | Crossong into Missouri, on foot |
The bridge can now only be crossed on foot or cycle
 | St Louis in the distance |
You can just make out the famous Gateway Arch. Sadly the closest I got to it.
 | Fire truck |
For some reason this old fire truck is parked in the middle of the bridge. There is no explanation as to why.
