Day 4We got into Kansas City at about 7:30 Wednesday night and stayed with Caton and Dani right on the KS/MO border. Caton says you can shoot BB guns at people from his back porch and they can’t do anything about it because you are on the other side of the state line. We are staying an extra night to test this theory out. Actually we are staying an extra night because we haven’t seen C & D in awhile (and we are exhausted and need to revitalize before heading north. Plus there’s the little matter of Caton being a brewer at Boulevard Brewery; there is something comforting about having ready access to some of the best Ales made in America ☺). Today we are going to run around the Westport section of KC.
It’s the oldest part of town and is full of amazing buildings and businesses that have been run by the same families since the Civil War. KC residents say that St Louis is lying about all that “Gateway to the West” stuff since Westport was actually the last city pioneers would see before hitting the Oregon, California, and Santa Fe Trails. It certainly seems like a good place to head out from.

I can't believe the Flying Tomato is gone, though I do remember when the Delta Lodge burned down. It was around the same time as the O.J. trial. Did you drive by 604 Texas Street? When I lived there, I had a garden of sorts in Cheri's old room. Happy travels!
