Revisit to Jefferson Expansion National Memorial St Louis Mo July 10 2013

I was last here in 2010, and missed a few stamps, then a trip report came out saying that several stamps had been retired- so off I went.  Parked in the pay lot at the far side, and then walked a good bit, which was good for exercise.

Went right through the security lines, which was rare, and this time, did the big Western Frontier Museum downstairs, and then got stamps at the information center and at the gift shop, almost didn't get the gift shop one, which was the 25th anniversary stamp- Then, I walked over to the Old Courthouse portion of the park, and this time, got in the Dred Scott Movie, and also a hiking medallion and the three stamps for this location.

A different perspective on the Arch, taken from the Gateway Grizzlies ball field across the river in Sauget, Ill.  Sadly, because of budget cuts, they don't illuminate the Arch at night anymore. 

Taken from the steps of the Court House, about 3 blocks up the street Cooper wants to go to the top of the Arch as an item on his bucket list.  Hopefully we can make it happen one day.
