The Missouri Adventure

Throwback Thursday to the year I ran away from home (as an adult) and lived in Missouri.
Mistakes were made. Visiting the St. Louis Zoo, Shaw Nature Reserve, and Lone Elk Park were not among them.



The Saint Louis Zoo is my absolute favorite zoo to visit. I walked seven (7) miles one way to spend the day walking around the entire zoo, then walked those seven (7) miles back home. It was worth all the pain, and I'd do it again.











See (so many) more photos from the zoo in my album Saint Louis Zoo (2009)










Shaw Nature Reserve "strives to inspire responsible stewardship of our environment through education, restoration and protection of natural habitats and public enjoyment of the natural world." The trails were lovely, and visiting reminded me of the Cleveland Metroparks.

Lone Elk Park was certainly an experience!
