Hi, all,
I was curious if anyone has traveled with their wheelchair to the Gateway Arch in Saint Luis, MO?
I had a dream a couple days ago of traveling to Missouri into Saint Louis to visit the Gateway Arch with my chair.
Inside the Gateway Arch, they don't have normal elevators.
Instead, the elevators are in a shape of an egg with five to six stools inside.
When the eggs are rising up to the top of the arch, they make light clicking noises and slightly turn sideways.
There is no lighting inside the egg shaped like elevator from what I can remember when  I toured the Arch almost twenty-four years ago.
Once the egg gets to the top, the doors open and you can walk over to a large bay glass window and look out to see that everything down below is toy-like.
I probably should look up the Gateway Arch and do some research on my own to see what I find out as far aas wheelchair access goes.
I wanted to put this out on the list for discussion and thoughts.
