Road Trip




My husband and I decided to celebrate our 10 years of marriage by driving from the Ozarks to St. Louis, MO. We decided to let the GPS guide our navigations. We drove through very wooded roads and mountains, with nary a car or house in sight. Until we were stopped at a river and the ferry was not operating in winter. So we turned around and headed back on our own. We located a highway and turned on it to see what was out there with the remaining daylight. We found the Twin Pines Nature Conservatory. What a wonderful place to learn about nature in MO. They have animals you can touch, hear and see. They have logging equipment, an antique log cabin and staff ready to answer all your questions. We stayed far longer than we planned. What a great gem of our area.We never made it to St. Louis that day, but found a place far more stimulating. You just never know what awaits you in the Ozarks.
