Boiling Springs on Big Piney River

We took a short cut according to the worst US map atlas that was ever made.  The roads were windy (not windy but winding), hilly and we were constantly going up and down through small towns. The bright yellow Forsythia bushes were in full bloom and so were all the spring trees. Very pretty.  It was 80 degrees F and just delightful.  We spent the rest of the afternoon at Ft. Leonard Wood.  Small farms that we saw on the way there looked like the one below:
