Last year someone on IOW recommended the Museum of Transportation on the west side of St Louis. Features a small display of cars & a LARGE display of retired train cars & locomotives. If you're a train fan, I highly recommend it. Volunteers take you on a walking tour at regular intervals. Our guide was a huge train fan, very knowledgeable & very friendly. He was thrilled that we kept asking him questions about the various cars on display. We went there after lunch & spent the entire afternoon.

I may take you up on that. It's hard to pass up good barbecue. I was going to meet you last year at this race and I ended up not finding you. Speaking of Oklahoma, did you ever try the ribs at Pappy's World Famous Barbecue, in OK City, just past the entrance to the old state fairgrounds race track? I got to the TNT race a little early, last year and stopped in that place. It was really good.

Come on down, I'll be shooting again this year and Chuck Fry will be flying out from Northern CA and staying with me, to shoot too for his first GCMN. Morty knows how to find me!

I never tried Pappy's, but I'm sure it's good....OK has the best BBQ in the land IMO (even better than TX...LOL). The best BBQ I've ever had in OK was my dads and a place called Head Country BBQ in Ponca City, OK. They've won just about every competition out there and the sauce is the greatest. http://www.headcountry.com/

How do you spend your days while at the Gold Crown?

If you bring the young'uns visit St Louis City Museum. If you don't have kids visit the museum anyway. It is not what you expect. It is weird and wonderful and beer is served. Check it: http://citymuseum.org/site/

MONSTROCITY:
What happens when you mix two Saber 40 aircraft fuselages, a fire engine, a castle turret, a 25′ tall cupola and several 4′ wide wrought-iron slinkies, and the creativity of CITY MUSEUM Creative Director Bob Cassilly and his crew? The result is MonstroCity, the most monumental, monolithic, monstrous montage of monkey bars in the world.

The dream of professional welders everywhere, MonstroCity is an interactive sculpture where kids and adults (who wish they were kids) can crawl, jump, climb and bounce their way through an exciting jungle gym of inspiration.
