The road to St. Louis

It seems a long time ago that we picked up Aki at the Atlanta airport and drove to St. Louis.

The drive took about 9 hours and we sent somewhere south of the city, to Fletcher, for a hunt test on Monday.  We stopped along the way and watched rice being loaded into storage bins along the Mississippi river.  We went hiking and found a box turtle.  We stopped by Grant's Farm and watched the Budweiser clydesdales stretch and plod about on the frosty morning.  We hiked the Route 66 trail.
