The terrain was rolling hills. I passed a turkey farm and a Honey Suckle White processing plant. I walked past a number of large corn fields that were knee high.

My family has roots in Tipton and California, MO-- many extended relatives still live there! I found your blog through an article someone shared on Facebook, and I really admire what you're doing here.
