missouri wildlife

One of the local watering holes, the Klepzig Mill, near Eminence, Mo.

Local fauna, at Rocky Falls, Mo.

We went to Peck's Ranch to view elk. Peck's Ranch is the place the Beatles went on retreat for a couple days 50 years ago when they first toured the U.S. There's a guy around here still trying to sell a Champagne bottle he says they shared. Anyway, there were no Beatles there, nor elk neither, so it was kind of a bust, wildlifewise, except for a deer wandering around in the middle of the road. So as the day drew in, we went to other scenic locales in the area and did capture one specimen.
