Day 8

---

Our trip across Missouri started out with a stop at the Harry S. Truman Museum in Independence. This was a good history lesson about the end of WWII and the start of the Cold War. From there we stopped for Lunch in Columbia. Seemed to be a cool college town with a nice village. After that It was off to St. Louis, Gateway to the West. We arrived at our hotel and hurried to get ready for the Cardinal game. We noticed there was lots of security. It turns out it was for Ben Bernake, who was also a guest at the hotel.

282 miles of travel in the day, 2,029 miles total. 70E to 435N to 70E.
