Driving through Missouri was pretty scenic with rolling green pastures and after coming through Kansas the scenery definately improved here. I like the rivers and the bluffs and enough trees to go around. St. Charles, just outside of St. Louis is a really neat town with a very 19th century atmosphere and nice archetecture, very much a westward bound pioneer spirit on the banks of the Missouri river. I liked it. The highways here are in bad shape and it seemed half of I-70 was under construction so there were a number of delays. That could be because it seemed every other vehicle was an 18 wheeler, so many trucks!!! Not a bad state though.
