Fast Lane Cars

This morning after breakfast we walked to Fast Lane Classic Cars which was less than a mile from the RV Park.  There were over 180 dream cars for sale.  The cars are in mint condition—just like being in a new car showroom.

After spending over an hour checking out all the cars, we walked back towards the RV Park and then walked into the town of St. Charles  along the road that followed the Lewis and Clark Trail to see what was there. Mostly antique stores (which would make sense since we were in the historic part of town) and a nice town park  were what we saw.  Some of the town flooded in the recent rains and a few of the streets were still closed.

National Transportation Museum

After lunch we drove to the National Transportation Museum in Kirikwood, MO.  It was founded in 1944 and features a wide variety of vehicles spanning fifteen decades of American History. There are cars, a tugboat, aircraft, streetcars, locomotives and other railroad equipment as well as a miniature train display and a handcar rail track for kids.
