Arch and Mississippi

It’s one of America’s greatest landmarks, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. This is a picture taken from the truck as I drove by it heading east. Usually, I drive by it heading west. This is because I’m normally heading home when I pass it. It’s part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and is administered by the National Park Service. I’ve been up in the arch. There is a really cramped "elevator" ride up the incline of the arch to the top. The views are very good from the top. The symbolism behind the structure is even better, being one of the great stories of the United States.
