Covered 316 miles today vs the 232 planned - wrong turns certainly clock up the mileage mainly because it takes some time to realise you have gone wrong.
Springfield is a largest town - pleasant enough - typically middle America

Day 4 - St. Louis to Springfield, Missouri
Back tracked a little this morning to see the Old Chain of Rocks bridge, by-passed by Route 66 a few years ago. Hire car is Jeep Patriot with a very dodgy automatic gearbox (might have to change the car tomorrow)
Again took a long time to get out of St.Louis as it did with Chicago. Big cities and even large towns pose a problem when you are trying to follow the route.
The road followed the service road of the interstate highway for many miles today but at times went 'inland' into the Ozark's. The Meramec caves were unnecessarily touristy playing up the Jesse James connection but still very impressive
The world's largest rocker but the shop was great.
Devil's Elbow - road still passable
