Missouri

Our original plan for Missouri was to stop by the St.Louis Cardinals home ground, Lee's favourite Baseball team. But as we started to research Missouri, we realised there is a lot to do and we only have 2 days to squeeze it all in!

We couldn't resist planning in Hermann, the German Village. It was on our route anyway but even if it wasn't, nothing comes between Lee and a German sausage!

During our research, we also came across the Weldon Spring Site Remedial Action Project Disposal Cell. This site contains 1.48 million cubic yards of PCBs, mercury, asbestos, TNT, radioactive uranium and radium, and contaminated sludge and rubble which has been entombed in a massive man made concrete mountain (which apparently also looks like a spaceship). We are planning on exploring the site on the Nuclear Waste Adventure Trail.
