St. Louis MO

The road to the Arch is somewhere past those barriers, under a LOT of water!

This was as close as I could get by car to the Arch, which is about 4/10 mile past this stone bridge.

Through the bridge passage and this was the view, ahead and behind...

The access road to the Arch as I found it, and the Google Earth Street View of what it normally looks like! I'm guessing 5-6 feet under water?

The upper pathway through the park back to my car.

Back at the car - I've been bombed!

The escape options from the Arch parking spot: left and right.
