Happily we didn't drive thru any snow today but we did get a few sporadic rain storms and of course they were on my driving shift.

I think Ed is enjoying being a passenger. He managed to get a pretty good picture of the Arch in St. Louis as we drove by on the highway.

Finding 2 geocaches in Missouri was on our list of things to do today. We stopped and found one at a Cracker Barrell Restaurant in Springfield and a second one in a phone booth in Pineville. Now Ed could check another state off his list.

About 4 pm we arrived at our friends house in Bella Vista, Arkansas. I think it's been 4 years since we have seen Bob and Jean. It's really good to see them again.

One of the best parts of the drive is finding spring. We've seen Red Buds and Dogwoods in bloom (they're trees) plus leaves on the trees. This Dogwood is in Jean and Bob's backyard.

An autofeed dog water bowl makes a good birthbath.
