Day 22 June 8 Pinckney to St. Louis, IL

Another night under cover only this time it was the Fairground pavillion in Pinckery.  With water, restrooms and tables we did well.  It was just a little muggy for sleeping.  Our treat was a watermelon that Tom carried on his bike from the grocery store.  
This morning the thunderstorm started at 8 am.  We couldn't avoid it.  But we dried out by the afternoon.  Our Google Maps bike route, for once, did not send us to a dead end road or gravel.  It took us all the way to St.Louis... almost.  Well, we took advantage of a metro train ride. Literally we came off a trail; pushed our bikes up onto the platform; waited 2 minutes and pushed our bikes on to the train.  It was amazing.  The next thing we know, we are looking at the Arch.  St. Louis is a beautiful town.  We were able to ride downtown with hardly any traffic.  We found great BBQ at Paddy's Smokehouse.  We rode out northwest to get a hotel and tomorrow we will start on the Katy Trail.
