Carthage, Missouri...

Our stop for 2 nights at this Boondockers Welcome host allowed us a leisurely visit to Joplin.

Our friends across the fence were quite entertaining :)

We visited many places in and around Joplin and Carthage during our visit with our Boondockers Welcome hosts.  OOPS!  This picture was from Tulsa, OK, and I should have put it my last post but I like him well enough to leave him here :)

Here's a link for the picture below.

In response to the "bad time for our country" in the 1960's J.E. Dawson built these hands in his back yard and transported them to their current location in Webb City, MO.  (I think it would be grand if someone did this for our current times.)

This is WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!...a self serve soft ice cream machine at our restaurant stop for the day :)

I found this restroom modification quite amusing.  I can only imagine the reason for the foot stirrups below the pan on the right :)

We visited this museum that contained quite a bit of Carthage's history.  Bonnie and Clyde lived here for a while.

Dennis Weaver's home town...

I have trouble playing a guitar with one neck...lol!

And....of course...several cool cars :)  Even a few older than me!

Remember the Stanley Steamer?  Neither do I :)
