I wish I had taken the picture above with a regular camera and not the cell phone. If I make this pic larger, we lose the clarity; it gets blurry. or maybe blurrier. But what a great road!
The photo was taken in the region of "The Nation" that lower tier of Iowa counties and the upper tier of Missouri counties that Iowa and Missouri fought over. We are still not sure if Iowa wanted to keep that tier of counties or give it away -- and ditto for the State of Mo. But both States' militia were involved. With guns. We will never know who won and who lost.
The photos above and below were taken in central Missouri, below Chillicothe. I was sure we were going to be blown off the highway. Maybe blown to Kingdom Come. Does anyone say that, anymore? all the way to Kingdom Come . . . to indicate a great distance?
We weren't.
Blown to Kingdom Come.
This time.
Drove on thru to greener pastures.
This time.
and we still love the backroads and the scenic byways.

great pictures! And yes, I do believe people still use the phrase "to kingdom come".
Wow! Looks scary in the 3rd picture and the last picture is very picturesque!
Pastoral. Does anyone use "pastoral" anymore in a sentence?
