Mackynzie's Flat Stanley in Missouri!

Hi - it’s me Flat Stanley. I am visiting my friends Russ and Beth in beautiful St. Louis, Missouri, also known as the Gateway to the West.  The reason this city is called that- is because of it’s location on the confluence (where two rivers meet) of the Great Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers. Also, because it was the starting point for many expeditions of people who wanted to explore the vast western region of the United States back when it was populated mostly by Native Americans.  In the photo attached, you can see the famous 630 ft. Gateway Arch which was built in the 1960’s.  There is an actual train inside the arch that you can ride to the top and see a long distance both East and West.  Bye for now!
