August 22 Corn and Soybeans

We drove across Missouri today through a billion acres of corn along the Missouri River as far as you can go and still be in Missouri. We camped near the river in Rock Port. This is the path taken by Lewis and Clark. If it is a good campsite now, it must have been back in 1804. So I like to think that I am sleeping where Lewis, Clark and their men camped long ago.

We’ve left trees behind for a while; we had soybeans for neighbors in Rock Port.

  1. When you see a clump of trees, usually you see a house. We kept a tally of the cemeteries and cows. (or you could tally corn fields vs. soy beans)
