Road Trip 2023: Stage 5/Driving Day 12

Aug 19, 2023

Yesterday was an easy segment, just getting from Columbus to St. Louis. But today will be a long slog through the Plains and headed up the plateau to Denver. About 800 miles, 16 hours or so all in. So, I was out the door of the Hotel St. Louis—charming place right downtown and near the Gateway Arch, highly recommended—at 3am. First stop, I defecate you negative, is the Shangri La Cannabis Super Store in Columbia MO that hosts a 350kW charging plaza. I’m betting the store isn’t open just yet; maybe some other time. 😉
