The internet loves declaring the best and worst of places and I prefer to focus on that first one. There is now a lake in Illinois that's been named the best in the state for a very specific type of tourist. Let's explore.
Things are done differently in Missouri and I mean that as a good thing. However, there was this time when a Missouri guy saw a big bear cross a trail in front of him and his response was...different than what I probably would have done as he decided to capture video and chat with the animal.
What are you in the mood for after a nice long nap? If you answered "snacks", you have something in common with bears who Missouri just warned everyone about. They are awake and on the prowl looking for food.
Most of us that have either grown up and/or live in Missouri have hiked in the Ozarks at some point in our lives. If you decide to take that adventure, you'd be advised to watch out for a legend that claims a sinister little boy awaits you on those remote trails.
