This anecdote tripped a trigger in my memory that had clearly misfired earlier. The roadside marker mentioned the high iron content of the bedrock in the county and the industry that grew out of that geologic circumstance. We turned around and headed back to I-44 to check out a historic marker that we had passed earlier. Since I had done the research, we both decided that it would be better for Jon to drive while I navigate so he took the wheel and we headed for the northeastern reaches of the Ozarks in Crawford County.Our first destination was Onondaga Cave State Park which was, unfortunately, closed for the season. We are longtime friends and were both looking forward to this little excursion but we hadn’t traveled together since college - which was a VERY long time ago - so we weren’t exactly sure what to expect from this “adventure”. On this three day journey, I would be accompanied by Jon G., my editor for this blog. This trip would be a little different however. It had been 4 long months since my last county road trip and I was anxious to be wandering through Missouri again.
