In Search of Early Fall Color…

We’re getting cool nights here in Missouri and you can see a hint of change in the trees. So we hopped in the car and headed out to find some early fall color. We wound up at Elephant Rocks State Park. Ever wonder where all the cobblestones for the old St. Louis streets came from?…

Commerce & Tranquility

The mighty Mississippi, Nature’s Super Highway, also has an air of tranquility. I spent my Saturday afternoon wandering a sandbar just down from the Plattin Rock Boat Club.  I saw commercial vessels, pleasure crafts, and a landscape that evoked a harsh beauty. It felt like I was transported to another place rather than the middle of the Mississippi River.
