Jeannie warned us that we would see some rain but this is incredible. 8 inches in the last24 hours. Our burley on top of the car is a mini swimming pool. We are loving the humidity and warmth. We are still travelling I70 and are amazed at the number of trucks on the road.
The time zone changes have us all out of sync. We almost missed seeing the Indianapolis race track because we got there so late. We were still thinking it was central time. We talked our way into someones suite overlooking the track and had a birds eye view. The 2 1/2 mile circuit is big - a great place to be on race day.
Off to get the camper today. Be nice to have our own beds to sleep in.
Nikki asked about the elevator to the top of the arch. It is a small capsule which just fitted five of us. It moves left, right down and up. It is like an amusement park ride and gets pulled up on a cog type rail. The arch was finished in 1965. It is the shape a free-hanging chain takes when held at both ends. Inverted of course! It is 630 ft wide and 630ft tall.
