Sightseeing

June 30, 2004   Meramec Caverns

Every one slept in today.  Last nights episode stuck on the side of the road tired everyone out.  But it has not dampened our spirit. Today is a new day.  We drove in to Cuba, Mo for a nice breakfast at the Route 66 café(see Hannah’s journal for a report).  Then back a few miles to the Famous Meramec Caverns.  They were very impressive we all enjoyed it.  Even the corny old jokes and stories were fun.  If you plan on ever going bring a jacket it’s a cool 60 degrees.  Picked up a few charms, ate ice cream and back on the road.  Matilda is running great today.  She is like a whole new car with her fuel pump gasket on tight. Today she is happy cruising at 65-70 what a difference.  She is also now getting well over ten miles to a gallon.
