I live in Lincoln County, Missouri and travel daily through the towns of
Clarksville, Elsberry, and Winfield on a 100 mile round trip commute.
You may have read about these towns in the news. What used to be
farmland is now a vast ocean. The flood has closed the major
thoroughfares which required me to take my MGA through the hills (curvy
gravel roads and all). But it was a blast -- at least when all four
cylinders were kicking in (see sticky valve posts). I got quite a few
stares from the MP's patrolling the areas as my MGA passed their wide
Humvees on these twisty little roads. The worst hazard, however, is the
hundreds of deer that are being forced out of the bottom grounds and are
all congregating on the roadsides. It is hard to miss them when they
travel across. The views from the bluffs are breath taking --
beautiful but sad too. I wonder if Monte is having the same experiences
in Hannibal.
