Very cool pics! I live about 3 hours away from St. Louis now, and came down for a few days last week. My first time in the city, I liked it a lot!

Some bad weather again yesterday but Waldo and I finished installing the rebuilt carb on the 85.....

And on the way home for the parts store we stopped by WM and Waldo picked a few for my collection.......

But good news.... I looked at up coming weather and on my day off, this Tuesday no rain, so we are going to the river front and see the Arch, Eads Bridge and of course the muddy Mississippi. And if time allows we must go visit Bigfoot.

Well crap, that was a disappointment. No place to park anywhere downtown unless you shell out $30 for a day ticket or $1 every 15 minutes. Nothing on the street anymore and could not get near the river front itself. I know it's been 15 years since I've been down there but you can't get anywhere around there anymore. Most of the Arch is shut down for construction as well.
And don't get me started about Laclede's Landing.......ghost town.

Sorry Waldo, St. Louis must not like visitors, no wonder St. Louis tourism is in the dumps.

Might try some else next weekend before I send you off to the next fellow. Yeesh!

Wow - that is sad to hear that Lalede's Landing is a ghost town. Last time I was in downtown St. Louis (well in St. Louis at all) was 2000 when we brought a youth group there. Maybe you can take Waldo to the Botanical Gardens of the St. Louie Zoo - know those were places we enjoyed when we lived there but again...that was back in the '80's so possible things have changed there as well. :wave:

69ch will not be able to finish out the travel arrangements for the Mustang, but has okayed me to continue the "Scheduled Travel". (Dont ask for details, just roll with it, please.) I looked back at the thread posts again to see the people listed below who want to host the Mustang . Currently, there are only two stops left on the tour!

I prefer to have the Mustang forwarded in the order posted - so barracuda is scheduled for the next stop - please contact each other to set up the exchange. Then contact the next person on the list by PM for their address. The last person to host the Mustang can contact me directly and I will help to get the Mustang back to Eric at the end of the adventure, as needed.

Thanks my man! I really thought I could stay where I'm at till my loft apartment has been renovated but the building I'm in now needs to be sold. Plus work is nuts, at least I'm getting some great pay for all this work....LOL

That looks like fun. We have Cadillac Ranch in Texas, but it doesn't look near as cool as Carhenge.
