Check Engine Light

The drive to St. Louis was great, found the superman (see below), nice day, then suddenly, the "check engine" light went on. Bummer. I mean, this is a Toyota, its supposed to run forever without problems. So, we stopped, checked oil and all fluids, all good, nothing leaking, no loose wires . . . hmmm. We gogled the problem on my i-phone and it turns out this can be nothing, maybe just a sensor that mis-read.

We decided to continue driving, the car was not overheating, so we continued. I'm writing this blog a day later, at least 800 more miles, so all seems fine.

We made it to St Louis, I did another quick Google search to figure out an attraction to see before going to Six Flags, and decided on the St. Louis "Arch". Good decision, this is a National Park, there were several booths, and below the Arch itself there is a really well done interpretive center. The Arch is the Gateway to the West.

This is the entry to the underground interpretive center with all sorts of exhibits about the settlers and explorers going West. There was a young National Park Ranger guy near the entry of the exhibit, playing a guitar and strolling around, to give it that kind of western campfire feel.
