missouri

coming into MO, I drove across part of Ed Sitz' Table Rock Lake

stayed the night at a Baptist church and cemetery

the entry to Baker Seed co.

kicked it with the local dog - reminded me of Little Larry

cute little cabin

over 50 types of heirloom watermelon seeds

watermelon propane tank

the founder's daughter with all sorts of watermelons

watermelon paintings

woodcut turned into melon

watermelon light switch cover

so many neat fabrics to look at in the MERCANTILE

and then it was lunch time

6 days a week they offer a donation based all vegan lunch

I was there on enchilada day. spanish quinoa & salad from their farm

VIRGIL's is the root beer of choice in the bakery

so long from BAKER CREEK!

cruised over to MARSHFIELD where I missed a founding fathers seminar

small town state pride

took the slow road back to KANSAS and went through EUREKA

the Brazil's old home where I spent many weekends as a kid
