Journal of trip to Missouri, day 6


Jefferson City, capitol of Missouri, is on the Missouri River and on the Lewis and Clark Trail.  About the same time I was driving the Trail through Missouri, my youngest brother and his daughter were camping on the same Trail in the Great Northwest.  Great minds think alike, huh?  



I parked in the lot and walked down to the riverfront to take a look in the museum.  It was closed.  Drat!  I walked back uphill to the road leading to the capitol building.  There is a nice park to walk through with a lot of interesting stops, including a view of the river.


I didn't get to learn anything more about the city itself except what I could see with my own eyes and read on the plaques.  I went on to Macon County and left the next morning. Enough said.
