A Drive in the Country

I was unhappy that we didn't get a better look at the Missouri River when we crossed it on Interstate 70 on our way to Columbia.  There are absolutely no turn-outs or view points along the river where you can take a look at it.  So this afternoon we decided to take the Toad and drive back west to see if we could get a better look.  I snapped this photo from the Jeep window -- and that's about as good a look as we got!



Unlike many of the rivers of the West that literally run between barren deserts, the trees and underbrush surround these rivers to the point you really cannot get a look at them unless you are actually on the bridge -- or maybe on a boat!  We took a loop on some of the back roads between the old river towns of Rocheport and Boonville and never got a good view.

This "horse" and wagon were at Peach Tree Farm where we bought some peppers and peaches.
