Ste. Genevieve to St. Louis, MO -- 59 miles

We started out this morning crossing the Mississippi River by ferry over to the Illinois side. Most of the ride was along limestone bluffs which also provided nice shade.

At one point where there was a limestone quarry, and there were several caves that had been carved out the sides of these bluffs. At each opening we were blasted with almost freezing cold air! We could have used more of those cold air blasts as the day proceeded to get warmer.
On our left were more corn fields and the small towns that we rode thru were Modoc, Prairie du Rocher, Maeystown, Columbia, and DuPont. We crossed a bridge once again into St. Louis to put us back in Missouri. Our hotel, the Hyatt is right across the street from the Arch!
