    The dog on the Lewis & Clark expedition is named Seaman who was a Newfoundland dog owned by Meriwether Lewis! Seaman was the only animal to complete the entire three-year expedition! Seaman was purchased in 1803 specifically for the expedition while Lewis was in Pittsburgh awaiting completion of the boats for the voyage. He chose a Newfoundland because they do well on boats, are good swimmers, and can assist in water rescues. The views from the top are incredible! The Gateway Arch is so cool! It's the tallest monument in the whole Western Hemisphere at 630 feet, making it 75 feet taller than DC's Washington Monument! It was designed by Eero Saarinen who also worked on Dulles International Airport and the TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport (now the TWA Hotel)!

    We were in St.Louis..in 2007...due to a surgery for cancer...and went to the arch! We didn't go up( im with Chris lol)...so...Thankyou so much for filming that so that we can see what we missed lol. Very cool! We did do the Mississippi River Queen on the river....
    We did go to Union Station....we don't remember the aquarium....they definitely didn't have the zip lines back then lol.
    I DO remember a train display...and since it was Christmas time....at the time...every train portal had Christmas trees......
    It's been really long time lol....a lot has changed there.
    Thankyou for sharing!
    Although the reason for us being there at the time wasn't the best reason...we still have great memories...thankyou for more.....appreciate you and Chris so much!❤

    More info on the Arch's awesome elevator tram: Richard Bowser developed with his father elevator equipment that could travel horizontally, diagonally, and normal vertical. He visited an elevator company in Moline, Illinois to see a friend when by chance, the company got a call from architect Eero Saarinen that they were looking for a group to take on the big project. Bowser made a return call. When Eero called back, he gave Bowser two weeks to design and present in front of the team. He knew a normal system of course wouldn't do, so for the Arch he combined elevator and Ferris wheel elements to create a unique system where a tram of eight elevator pods that by rotating, allows the visitors inside to remain leveled the entire way.

    Ha, you said Lois & Clark looking at that statue.
    Until yesterday's video I may have never got the simple wordplay that is Lois & Clark, Lewis & Clark. Surely intentional. One duo explored the west, the other explored the world of superhero romance.
    I used to think the arch was just a statue. The 1st time I saw a window up there I was perplexed. Wild elevator system.

    I went to the top or the arch years ago. I’m claustrophobic and the pod was full which made it worse. It helped that the glass was there and I could see that there was a way out if necessary. Loved it at the top but then had to go back down in the pod. I would never do it again. We ate at a nearby revolving restaurant. It was a buffet. The buffet didn’t revolve but the area with the tables revolved. It was hard to find my table each time after going to the buffet. Overall, a nerve-racking day.

    I never went to the top of the arch, I'm much too claustrophobic!
