November 2, 2011 Cuiver River State park and Historic St Charles

The radiator arrived this afternoon, finally. They are putting it in tomorrow AM at the screech of dawn. Then hopefully we can continue on our journey. Yesterday we had lunch with Bev from Salida, Co. It was nice to see her.  She is on her way to Indiana to pick up a truck. John and I  have been hiking the last couple days.

We went down to old town in St Charles, Mo for Halloween.  Check out the brick streets there. They had the children trick or treating in the afternoon. We sat on a bench and watched. After having lunch at the local brewery.  Lots of cute costumes.
