My first trip on Route 66-2
On our first day of driving, I remember us approaching St. Louis and the Mississippi River. We would cross the river on the Chain of Rocks bridge. I had never seen a river that was as wide and imposing as the Mississippi. 
We crossed over and into St. Louis, the gateway to the west of the genre of books I voraciously read. We would continue west going through Lee Summit, Rolla, and eventually to stay at a motel in Springfield. The motel had a swimming pool that was the first such pool I had ever been in. The water was very refreshing after the heat of the day.
This trip eventually would change the course of my life. It took a
lot of years but I have ended up in the 'Novelty Signs Business'. My
company Crossroads Sign
sells authentic route 66 highway marker signs.
