Got up this morning and looked at the forecast.
Decided to head to St. Louis since it was Sunday and the Cardinals weren't in town.
. Radar only showed rain 50 miles East of St. Louis.., so we thought
OK, let's go in that direction! BIG MISTAKE.
The traffic 40 miles west of the city was bumper to bumper
and within 15 miles of the city limits it started pouring rain.
We got off at the Chicago exit heading north and drove in a downpour until we crossed into Illinois. We made it to exit 9 where we got a room at the Hampton. Total today was 300 miles. We are 466 miles from home. If the weather cooperates tomorrow we may try making it there without stopping for the night.
View from our room and MC's tucked away for the night
