We left Moran, Kansas headed to our next destination, Eminence, Missouri. We crossed the border after driving through Fort Scott, Kansas, where we toured the restored and reconstructed Army post from the 1860’s that served a significant role in the opening of the West. Interesting.
The topography of Missouri is a combination of rolling green hills and dense green deciduous forest. It’s tough to get much of a panorama as you are usually surrounded by vegetation. The farms are many and smaller than we have seen to this point. Lots of curious goats, everywhere. The road kill has changed from rabbits and the occasional deer to lots of possum, raccoon, and the occasional box turtle. That’s probably more than you wanted to know.
The folks in Missouri can really name towns that sound like towns, not names that sound like your long lost great aunt. Names like Stockton, Buffalo and Salem really work for me. We also passed some real traditional eateries like the Lizard Lips Bar and Grill, which we unfortunately, were not able to eat at due to a scheduling conflict.
Well, here we go to Eminence. Do you suppose this might be the summer retreat for the Pope? Probably not.
