We had an appointment set before our trip with an attorney that we couldn't miss. That sorta set the timeline on our travels to this point. As always, we made the best of it.
Adventure Time
Since the time I first met Brian I have been hearing stories of when, as a teen, he attended and then worked at the S-F Scout Camp. All of the dumb skits he's replayed. The crazy adventures. The things that helped him grow more confident with hard tasks. It wasn't right on the way, but Brian really wanted to stop by. It was the final place he wanted to see before leaving St Louis, possibly, forever.
It is amazing! Compared to the Scout Camps in Southern California where there is hardly any water, so no way of having a huge lake all for the campers. The size of this camp was so much bigger than the other camps I've seen. They really do a good job here.

This Scout Camp is ginormous. Even though the specific campsite Brian spent so many weeks at wasn't being used right now, there are several others that are very busy each summer.
 |
| Clearly, his campsite hasn't been used for a long, long time. |
 |
| The stories he's told about his time on the lake. I can understand why camp was so cool. There aren't lakes like this so abundant in California. |

 |
| Is it weird to feel honored that Brian would share this bit of his history with me? |
We stopped in St Louis for about an hour to visit the Attorney to settle things on our home in St Louis that we are now renting out. Then off to play games and eat dinner with Nora, Max & Alta in Columbia.
Places to Eat:
* Helen Fitzgerald's Irish Grill & Pub - (St. Louis) The day we stopped they had predicted thunder storms. We chose to order take out since this place was right next door to the hotel. The toasted raviolis weren't the best, but we had to have one more order before leaving town. We split the Shepard's Pie, and it was really good.
