Melody in St. Louis, Missouri

The Chamberlains
UNITED STATES
St. Louis, Missouri
(Melody #001A1113)
Melody visited the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO. The arch is officially known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and is also called the Gateway to the West. It was built as a monument to Thomas Jefferson and all the pioneers who traveled to the west of the Mississippi River through the St. Louis area.
Melody would not have been able to travel to the top of the Gateway Arch if she had not been carried. If the tram system that transports visitors to the top were to break down, visitors would have to use the 1,076 emergency stairs to return to the bottom of the Arch.
