THEY'RRRRRE OFF!   Guelph, Ontario, Feb. 1, 7:30 a.m.  Getting in the car  to head off Chicago, to meet some of Ken's friends from Korea.  Chicago is also the beginning of Route 66.

St. Louis, Missouri's, iconic landmark, The Gateway Arch.
It's 630 feet tall and 630 feet wide. The structure dominates the west side of the Mississippi River in St. Louis, just downstream from the confluence
of the Missouri River and the Mississippi River.

MAN OF STEEL: OJOA Director, Slalom Chairman, etc. etc. Ross upholds more than OJOA.  
Such Superman heroics underpin all he does.

The arch, the great Mississippi.
Truly ... the Gateway to The West.

Two weeks after setting off:  9,927 kilometres later.
Memories that have made a father's lifetime richer.
Memories that have made a son's life richer.
