Buffalo River

 Starting Area

A 1 km hike to the waterfall.

Not much water flow.

Cooking food in the morning. The rain had finally stopped.

Mengxing's first time ever camping and sleeping outside at night.

On the second day the weather was perfect.

 

We didn't have sunscreen. This actually worked really well.

Engineers.

 St. Patrick's Parade in downtown Rolla. The street was painted "green", it was more white.

 

For some reason few dozen corvettes went through.

Bikers

 Good old Missouri.

I was impressed by local rep.

So, probably one of the few Asian families decides to just walk in front of me and make camp...

Yes, Mortal Kombat was acted out in real time. The theme for the parade was retro video games.

Every parade needs a huge line of firetrucks.

Nascar, just fits.

I wish I was in a frat. Good times.

"Save gas ride a horse" is what here folk like to say.

Rolla post-parade

The party took its toll.

Green man suit is a must.

Reel Big Fish.
