Spent the last few days out in St. Louis doing some training for my new gig. On the way up we took a wrong turn and ended up at the riverfront at the base of the Arch. Told my daughter who was with me we would come back on Thanksgiving day on our way home as it was dark and we could not get good pictures.
This morning we took off, 18 degrees outside, got lost downtown St. Louis again, went the wrong way on a one way street!! LoL!! Lucky for us it was 6 a.m so nobody to worry about and out of state tags so I think any officers in the area would have understood. We get to the arch and wanted to park in the parking garage. Closed due to the holiday, a parking garage? Ok, so we drove down the road on the river front and pulled onto the sidewalk a bit, turned on the hazards. Told my daughter it was worth a ticket if they decided to give me one. We ran up the stairs and hit the north leg, took some pictures then hauled butt back to the truck to thaw out. Another attempt at the south leg, got some better pictures but still a little dark to get real good shots but enough to know what your looking at!
We rushed back to the truck to thaw once again then decided it was time to make our way home. Traveling and being a road warrior has it's down times but seeing cool stuff like this makes it worth it.
Sorry about a couple of the pictures being blurry. I had the camera set on manual and had it set for low light, aperture, film speed, etc., and did not have my camera tripod, freezing my yams off so needless to say some were a bit blurred!
