Heading north on 49

Leaving is never easy, saying good bye and hoping you have all your stuff! We packed up our overnight things and headed to Shari's to finish loading the RV. Hooded thing we had too take those extra time because (as anyone who knows me will understand) I had left "just" my purse at Chris's!?
I think we pulled away about 10 or 10:30, good thing we loaded the bulk of our stuff the day before...we wouldn't have left until later afternoon!
Heading north towards Forest City, Iowa. We have a tour with the Winnebago factory on Tuesday. Pretty much headed straight up 49 towards Kansas City, mo. I am always checking my apps for possible stops we might want to take. Found one right at the state border between Ark./Mo. In the towns of Bella Vista. It is another chapel, similar to Thorncrown in Eureka Springs. Same architect, E. Faye Jones, an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright. This is the Mildred Cooper Chapel, beautiful seeing in the woods beard Norwood Lake.
When we got there it was closed to a private event. Disappointment. So we took an exterior pic and decided to pick up lunch and groceries at a nearby Harps grocery. ( Chris we had the fried chicken-very good!) Fortunately it was closed enough that I couldn't walk back to chapel to see off it was open again. Happily it was and I got to head inside.
Very similar feel to Thorncrown. Love these chapels. The woods are as much a part of the building as the ribbed structure. Lots of volume, and every thing, lights, hardware, etc are part off the overall design. So glad I got to go back and sit inside!
Back on 49, pretty rural drive, Missouri looks pretty dry in this part of the state. About 5 got to our RV Park. Kind of an odd park, thinks it is owned by the church that is nearby. This huge steeple pokes out of the trees behind us. We will have to "drive by" to see what it is.もっと詳しく

旅行者 The chapel looked gorgeous...was it enclosed with glass between the ribs, or open? Is it just a chapel for services and special events, or a whole church with additional buildings, etc.?

Independence and Truman
2022年10月1日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F
Honestly my knowledge of history, American or world is horrible! That being said, I think if each student was to visit all the presidential library chronologically, they would have a fully realized vision/timeline imbedded in their brains. Independence Mo. is all about Harry S. Truman. He became president with the death of FDR, approx. 80 days after FDR assumed the presidency for a 3rd term. We visited his museum /library and the home he spent most of his life in with Bess, his wife.

Great museum, a ton of history. He actually was able to serve in WW1 (inspite of his eyesight), president during the end off WW2 in Europe, and ultimately authorized the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Was in place for the start of the cold war, the Berlin wall (and airlift), the Korean War, recognizing Israel as a nation, and ongoing civil rights issues. He did serve almost two full terms, but still these were tough times and decisions.
So interesting that earlier in our trip we visited Westminster College where Churchill makes his famous speech about the Iron Curtain dropping.
We grabbed a late lunch at the UpDog in Independence Square. Like so many downtowns, usually older governmental centers, there are numerous old and vacant buildings. This area has seen some better days. Not bad, just could be more.もっと詳しく

旅行者 So you are so right....I have no real historical knowledge or perspective! I had no idea Truman authorized the dropping of the bomb, and that he was only in office bc Roosevelt died. That drove me to the internet which made me remember as we drove to Palouse Falls (WA official falls) we drove by the Hanford Reach Natl Mounument out in the middle of nowhere. We realized this is where they made plutonium for the Manhattan project. Were sad we didn't have time to investigate. Actually ran into a guy on the Hells Canyon raft trip that said they have a great fabulous tour. Site cleanup is "on going" with tons of abandoned nuclear waste
