Still is! But anywhere away from big city's is a slice of Paradise. Anybody going to Bass Pro in Springfield, I HIGHLY recommend lunch at the BBQ place across the highway from the main entrance. Superb!


It's called Whole Hog Bbq. Best ribs around!

Missouri has a little of all the US in it....even salt water if you know the right spots to look.

I liked the resturant Jimmy's By The Park, in St. Louis, Missouri. I had one of my top two best meals at a resturant there and it was reasonably priced. Unfortunately it closed.

The City Museum in St. Louis is a must see. A buddy and I almost got thrown out of the basketball pit for having a basketball fight, by an 18 year old girl.

The Choctaw might disagree... But I think they did pretty good with the land they were alotted. SE OK, especially around Broken Bow, is a paradise.

I forgot to mention the Flat Creek Bar and Restaurant, really cool place with excellent food and staff! Definitely going there again on our next visit.

Lived here all my life. Always wanted to go west to the mountains tho. Finally got out to Colorado a few years ago to go elk hunting. I did like the mountains, but after a week I got really home sick and tired of seeing just mountains and very little variety. Without a few aspen trees scattered in, it all just looked the same. I live around Mark Twain Lake. Go one direction and it is hills and bluffs, go a mile in the other direction and it is flat farm ground. Lots of variety in this part of the state. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else I don't think.

P.S. If you come to Mark Twain Lake for the first time boating, bring a few dozen props and maybe a lower unit or 2 lol.

I'm going to retire in Mo. or Ar. , I felt the same way about '' out west '' - meridian , Id. [near boise] lived there 07 & 08 . Dry , no rain vast expanses of nothing more than a coyote - great place to visit but that's it for me .
I guess everybody has what they like and maybe what they are use to .
I grew up in SW Ohio , soybean/cornfields green as can be nice rivers creeks etc. . Too crowded there now most of what were fields are now filled with houses .
So it's move west old man , but not way out west .

A beautiful/conservative state that has a wide range of landscapes. They put a lot of money into their State Parks and wildlife, and it shows. Great people and very good wildlife laws compared to most I've seen.

Any big city has it's good and bad parts. I just spent a week in St Louis. I was lucky to stay in the nice area. It was beautiful. Definitely one of nicest areas I've ever been in (for a city). It's not hard to stay out of the bad areas if you have eyeballs.

I just met one of your game wardens from Missouri. I can’t rembere his name but he said he is retiring next month. Seemed like a nice guy. Met him at the Idaho Traapers convention and he said he drove 1,600 miles to learn more about wolf trapping

I'm the opposite, I hate humidity, and MO has it like here.

I'm heading 2-3 hrs North of Meridian to Council or Bear or Cascade where the timber is great and not barren like the Boise area.
Lived in MO and ID back in the 80's....both are beautiful.
