The Great 2025 Road Trip Day 15

On the road again 🎵🎶
Nice short 3.5 hour drive to St. Louis today.  Going to stay with some friends and visit the STL crew.  Quite a few of Brendan's college chums live out there.  And one of my most favorite places; The City Museum!   If you're unfamiliar, keep reading.  It's not what you think and you'll see why it's one of my most favorite places.

I know our trip is winding down and we'll likely be home in a couple of days and we both have mixed feelings.  Sad to go back to "real life" (even though I've been working this entire time) but will be nice to have a while house.  And I sure miss my little man. 

Amazing day.  City Museum and dinner/drinks with old friends. 

So City Museum...I didnt even take mamy photos because i immediately turn into a 6 year old when we get there.  Like we pay for tickets and I giggle and run off while Brendan has to run after me. 

Here's the website but it's still not the best representation:  City Museum | Weirdly Wonderful | Tickets and Memberships https://share.google/FwPnlRdNFT9zdfGv

But let's just imagine a 10 story playground with tunnels and ladders and slides....its beyond words. 

So you can go in that bus on the roof.

And like....where does this go?  You have to just find out.

This is the 10 story slide.

Well, we are off on another one of our big adventures.  Where this time?  You will find out in real time right along with us.  We've planned and unplanned this trip at least seven times so far this year.  We only have a very loose plan at this point.  We packed up the car with camping and backpacking gear and took off.  Goal for today; Northern Illinois.  Settled in at a site outside Utica IL.  Gorgeous day, easy drive.  Tomorrow: Wisconsin bound for a return adventure from 2020.

It gently rained last night.  The best kind.  Quiet pitter patter on the tent. We slept in a tiny bit and got up for coffee and to pack up and head back down.   We stopped in North Troy and got some supplies at headed south for a good, long, beautiful drive thru Vermont.  We got to the parking lot and set up a station to support hikers that come thru with ice cold sodas, toilet paper and a trash bag to collect trash.  (That's the greatest gift you can give a thru hiker, offer to take their trash!) Didn't have to wait long! After just a few minutes we chatted with a lady (Novice)  heading SOBO on the AT and she needed a ride into Rutland so we drove her to town and had a great conversation.   We got back to the parking lot and hung out a bit more. After an hour or so we decided to head up the trail to camp for the night.  Beautiful day, but rain overnight and all day tomorrow predicted.  So a wet walk back to the car. We set up the t...

Kinda slept in a little.  We slept a little better last night.  Got up and had an amazing breakfast at the inn.  Such an amazing place! We decided to get one more overnight in at one of our most favorite spots, Bromely mountain.  It's a bit of a haul up the mountain and just as we remembered it.  But the ski hut we stayed in last year has some improvements.  A FRIGGIN DRYER!!!  We remembered they have power up here so people can charge their stuff but the put in a dang dryer!  That is a huge gift for hikers.  Lot of AT hikers up here hanging out and drying stuff. On the way up we totally ran into one of the SOBO AT hikers we met giving away soda yesterday!  Late Start.  And later on met another SOBO hiker we'd helped yesterday who's name I forget.  We explored the area a little.   Walking down another path that leads to the ski resort.  We didn't walk all the way down or anything but just around.  It was jus...
