On Friday morning we drove to Shawnee, Kansas to spend the weekend with our good friends, Doug and Peg. One of the highlites of the weekend was a visit to the Arabia Steamboat Museum in Kansas City, MO. This steamboat encountered a snag on the Missouri River in 1856 and ended up covered with mud to a depth of almost 40 ft over the years. About 20 years ago a bunch of guys from Kansas City found it and exhumed it. The boat was loaded with supplies for the frontier. More than you could imagine. What a snapshot into the middle 1800s.
Among our memories are Sunday church services with Doug and Peg at their church and many excellent meals.
