Day 18 - Sunday 12 May

After breakfast, we drive down to the Mississippi River to observe some of the sights and have lunch.


 
 

 


We then drive over to the Illinois-side of the Mississippi to see where the explorers Lewis and Clark headed off from.

 
 
Next stop is the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge . This was the main bridge, and part of Route 66, which connected the East and West of the USA. After it was shut down in 1968, Pete project managed the reopening of the bridge for pedestrians and cyclists in the 1996.
