I visited Missouri in August of 2013, entering from Illinois, on a road trip with a friend of mine and my dad. Our first stop was to the Saint Louis Arch, including a helecopter ride.

We then visited the Meramec Caverns, in Stanton, and ate at Lambert's Cafe II (the home of the Throwed Roll) in Ozark.

We then traveled to Arkansas.

Later on the same road trip, we returned to Missouri arriving from Kansas. We visited the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum and the Truman Home in Independence.

We then traveled to Nebraska, by driving through the western edge of Iowa.
