Day Trip to Boonville Missouri

Here I complain about a common problem encountered while driving...

Ken, Tima and I set out for Boonville Missouri. We walked around mainly downtown. We walked to the Boonville depot on the Katy trail. We stopped at a great art gallery called Zuzak, which was once a department store and was even at one time one of Sam Waltons Ben Franklin's stores. We ate at Glenns Cafe in the Hotel Frederick. A lot of the glass etchings were done by Bill Drummond, with design work by Peregrine Honig. We got the grand tour of the hotel by the manager. We then crossed the Missouri River via the highway bridge which is also being used as the crossing point for the Katy trail. The old Katy Railroad bridge has been saved from demolition, and I think there are hopes it can be used for the Katy trail. We finished up in the evening as the sun went down, after seeing beautiful sunsets on the bridge.
