Ohio-Indiana-Illinois-Missouri
More and more corn. Terrain getting flatter. Visited ancient Indian city in Collinsville, MO. At its height circa 1000 A.D. Also visited "world's largest bottle of catsup." More precisely, it's the world's largest water tower shaped like and painted as a catsup bottle. Passed through St. Louis right by the arch (which one can see from the top of the ancient pyramid). Ready for Route 50 tomorrow morning...
