Visited the Mrs. oldest daughter in Manhattan KS Saturday morning then

through Lake of the Ozarks.

From Topeka to St Robert MO we ditched the interstate and took mostly 2 lane roads.

Stopped at the Uranus Fudge Factory The best fudge comes from Uranus if you didn't know

Got a good nights sleep on the cheep at the Baymont then took a trip through Mark Twain National forest this morning.

Grabbed some lunch then

to home

1300+ miles in 3 days

Solid mileage! Mark Twain NF has some seriously epic roads. One of the state roads that runs parallel to and right next to the KS-MO border has some serious hillage, used to get some good vertical G's at the bottoms in my 350Z. Not confident my Nismo could handle those without bottoming out.

I took 17 out of Buckhorn then took 32 to Park Hills. We will be going back to hit a few more of the back roads in that area. Great roads

and cheap gas. I filled up with 93 no ethanol for $2.79 a gal, had to fill up back in the land of corruption for $3.99 for 93 octane 90/10

Last day in Paris, off to Rouen shortly. Yesterday we did about 15 miles of walking, visited the Louvre, the ruins of the cathedral at Notre Dame, and the Trocadero (park overlooking the Eiffel Tower). Despite what you may have heard, the people are very nice even with my very limited French.

Pretty much everything outlined in black is recommended.

Talimena National Scenic Byway is somewhat southwest of Mark Twain NF, it's Arkansas 88 and Oklahoma 1. That is HIGHLY recommended. Runs along the ridge of the highest continental land mass between the Appalachians and the Rockies. I've driven it 4 or 5 times, lovely technical driving road. I'd recommend starting the road at dawn-ish; once you get into mid-morning hours you may be held up on the road by swarms of motorcycle-riding retirees.
