Originally founded by the french in the early 1600′s. The team has arrived into the historic and thriving metropolis of St. Louis. At 12:30 CST they officially crossed under the arch to symbolize the gateway into the next half of this broad spanning continent. After a brief visit down route 66 and a stop to pay homage to the pioneers Lewis and Clark, the team was seen in a borrowed red Nissan Xterra tearing up the city on that fine autumn afternoon.
