Looking directly UP at the arch gave the two RV Gypsies the impression that the arch was swaying, but in reality, the it was the swiftly moving clouds that created the illusion. | |

From high above, Lee noticed the white tents way down the street and decided that he wanted to walk there and see what it was all about, so after going up in the Gateway Arch, that is where the two RV Gypsies went. | |

Below: Time to go back down to the ground. The stairway from the top of the Arch back down to the elevators. Each of the 8 elevators has 5 seats inside, really close together. The door to the elevator was only 4-feet high and the inside walls of the elevator were curved. There was not much head-room, and it was extremely crowded with 5 people seated inside. | |

Back outside the Arch, the
two RV Gypsies took the long walk to find those tents. It turned out to
be a food festival, much to Lee Duquette's delight. No photos of the food
or booths were taken. |
