Fun Run 2018
Emerson Sutton posted the following on fb:
"Checking in from the Fun Run at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. Yet another good day to be a buckethead! We went to an old swinging bridge this morning. The bridge was so old and so narrow that some folks had reservations about going across it. One at a time, we all crossed and safely made it to the other side. Not certain of the name of the bridge, but we stopped in the middle and could feel it swing back and forth like a rocking chair. Truly amazing. From there, we all went to St. Elizabeth, Missouri. This charming town boasts a population of 336 and covers about 1 square mile. It was founded around 1877 and reportedly was named after princess St. Elizabeth of Hungary (early 1200's). Miss Kitty's Restaurant is where we enjoyed lunch. It looks like Miss Kitty favors the legendary Miss Kitty from the Gunsmoke television show. I will let you be the judge, she is the lady with the lovely auburn hair in the group photos. The weather was great and roads were smooth. When we made it back to the hotel, Sal told me that we travelled about 95 miles round trip." (Thanks for the pics, Emo!)

"Many of us are familiar with the city of Montreal Canada. What about Montreal, Missouri? How many of us know that there are actually 2 communities in Missouri named Montreal. One is in Camden County Missouri and the other is in Texas County Missouri.
Today, we took the scenic route to the former. This mid Missouri town has a population of 1,752. Montreal, Missouri was founded circa 1861. Montreal (Camden County) Missouri was named by Canadian setters that arrived in the area from Montreal, Canada.
The roads to Montreal are so picturesque and peaceful. Good clean air and very little traffic. The only exception was a skunk on the side of the road. I digress. The winding roadways are lined with farmhouses, cows, small lakes, open fields and rolling hills. The temperature today was in the upper 80's and we enjoyed the nice southwesterly breeze during our journey. Mother nature treated us with kindness and tenderness today.
Our destination was about one block south of the intersection of Route 7 and Easy Street; at the most well known eatery in area - The Jones Outpost. This eatery opened in March 2018. It is the former historic Jones’ service station that has been completely renovated and converted into a restaurant. Their cuisine is best described as a little bit country, a little bit coastal and a lot Cajun-Creole. The interior restaurant finish features a combination of rustic and industrial decor. The food was great, the price was fair and the company was excellent.
Be sure to check out the homemade desert table pictures in this post. Many of the bucketheads could not resist the temptation to partake in the delightful desserts. In fact, several folks ordered desert to go. Wifey had blueberry lemonade cake and I had pineapple upside down cake with a cherry on top. Delectable, tasty, yummy, succulent (you get the point)!
As usual our journey back to the hotel included another route with new and different sights. It seems like we went just a little slower on the way back. We travelled about 100 miles round-trip. So relaxing and invigorating; at the same time. When we finally arrived back at the hotel, Wifey and I both took a deep breath and said "what good day!"
