Are We There Yet?LOCATION: Driver seat, St. LouisYEAR: 2006TAGS: St. Louis, road trip, bob segerPUBLISHED: February 7, 2008For years I had kept the youthful dream of getting out of the state I lived in. There’s never anything really wrong with the place one lives when they’re young, it just seems that way. So one day me and my best friend decided that we weren’t just going to get out of Georgia, we were going to get to California. The trip was completely thrown together at the last minute; more of a joke that played out than an actual plan. So after throwing our few meager belongings together, we set out. The trip, being completely unplanned of course, took on a life of its own after the first couple of states. We decided, “Ah, California has been done, let’s head to Montana”. So we made a ninety degree turn about mid-America and headed North. The trip was fun until about St. Louis. By this time we were both seriously deprived of sleep, and driving another 20 hours didn’t seem too appealing. So we did what any irresponsible group of young ones would do. We got out and just ran around looking at random things at 11 p.m., in what has been termed, in nicer words, as one of the not so safe places to run around at 11 p.m. When we got back to the car to go home, the radio wouldn’t get much of channel variety going. So we sat back and sang Turn the Page. It was the one song that captured the “Gosh, we got a long way to go” feeling of it all. That trip taught us one… and only one thing. Never take a picture of the St. Louis arch at 11 p.m. Never comes out that well.
