We started the day with laundry and packing up because we are finished in Missouri for 09. Off to Kentucky. Well, after we have a bite of the world famous Pappy's pulled pork sandwiches. Just down town in St Louis. We got off the freeway in what could only be St Louis' Ghetto. Run down building, windshield washers at stop lights, homeless walking about, hookers, drug dealers (no doubt), run down brick buildings with ivy overgrown - broken windows of what used to be a factory 50 years ago.
Downtown St Louis has a mix of the old and new and Pappy's is in one of the older buildings. Perfect atmosphere for their out of this world Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Sure they have ribs, and brisket, and other stuff, but they are most famous for their pulled pork...a full sized pig is slow cooked over a log fire. Then when done the whole thing is hand picked and mixed together then dipped in it's own juice (properly spiced). To die for! I found out about Pappy's on a TV show called Man Vs Food on the Travel Channel (they better give me kudos for mentioning them).
Afterwards we drove a few blocks to the Arch but couldn't find parking for our big van and trailer...so we looked at it and up at it as we drove back and forth looking for parking.
Off to Kentucky. It was a fairly quick drive...only 4-6 hours (we stopped a lot to stretch, walk about,etc) so I don't know what a straight drive might take.
it has been overcast and cold this whole past week. Even a few sprnkles today.
Bowling Green is a great town. The drive in from Evansville, IN is along a very long hwy with virtually no services and pure green landscape.
Once here we popped into the Waffle house near our hotel and pigged out....now it's bed time good night!
Here is where my day started at the Holiday Inn Express Laundry room...three loads and I am only 1/3 of the way through.
