Day 77: The Show-Me State

A new STATE! The Fool is in a new State! At 1pm Central Time, the Walking Fool crossed the great Mississippi River and entered St. Louis, Missouri... the murder capital of the world!



While in the city, the Fool saw the Gateway Arch, visited the National Bowling Museum and when in an all-black neighborhood was accosted by a guy in a car who told him, "Hey, you're pretty white." Interpreting that as a vague, weird threat, the Fool hot-footed it to Forest Park. He spent some time exploring the huge city park, and crossed paths with the same elderly couple on four occasions. Finally, as dusk set in, the WF settled down in the dense, tree-covered Kennedy Memorial forest on the south-west end of the park.
