It was my stomping ground I grew up in Missouri and spent my adult life in the Ozarks. It is my Eden. For now I'm in the Valley of the Sun and I'm always interested in trade what do we have in New Mexico that you do not and we need sassafras roots and elderberries and just all kinds of stuff. Our farm is about an hour south of Branson just over the Arkansas line but I won't be home for another year or so
Some of my ancestors came to California from Mizzou in covered wagons around 1863. I've never been there but maybe I will some time.
