I remember reading that. I rode that in their early years. What a ride. They had trouble with snakes in the early years. But it was as thrilling a ride as I ever want to be on.
Ah, what would the day be without a visit from H. E. Pennypacker, wealthy American industrialist.
Back in the 80s, I worked at a packing plant that processed utility cattle for hamburger. We had a semi driver that his job was to take a full load everyday to Kansas City caves. I guess Wendy’s had a grinding facility down there.
I’ve got 12 pcs. of chicken on my bucket list.

12 piece bucket of KFC with 3 sides, no drinks, $47.00 around here.
I don’t eat chicken but my son showed me the receipt.
“Southern Missouri is lousy with caves.”
Not just southern Missouri, look up Cherokee Cave in ST. Louis.
My pleasure.
We’ve traveled through most of the continental US, so if there is somewhere you are thinking of going, give me a shout. If I’ve been there, I can tell you some cool things to see/do.
Bidenflation.
Visited Silver Dollar City and Marvel Cave in 1966 or so. We drove through St. Louis on the way and saw the arch nearing completion. Great memories from childhood. The cave, as I recall, was amazing.

Don’t go up in it if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Don’t get in the elevator if you’re claustrophobic.
Don’t stand in line unless you really like waiting in long ass lines.
However, the view is great once you get up there.
Take in a Cardinal game too, stadium is very near the arch.
If you don’t mind paying $50 for a second tier seat and $6.50 for a warm cup of Bud Light. After the game take the missus for a bone jarring horse and buggy ride down cobble stone streets for $30 each. (Buggy driver accepts credit and debit cards and expects a generous tip.)
Ha! “Through” being the operative word. I-55 was under construction at the time. Dad did his best with the old, red Buick. We kids got car sick on the winding Ozark roads. Family Vacation!
Now that’s bunker
