Same Old Story
The following is from the Joplin paper.
Banking on the idea that Civil War tourists spend more time and money visiting historic sites than do pleasure tourists, organizations across Missouri are trying to find ways to promote the state's sites in time for the war's 150th anniversary.
The problem is that the anniversary is less than four years away, and, according to one state organization, Missouri isn't presenting a unified front capable of competing with Civil War sites in other states.
Too bad there wasn't a battle in Branson!

Terry, we hope to be back for another packing trip around Jan 4 or so depending on the weather. Please keep me up to date on the progress on top of the mountain.
Missouri not presenting a unified front on the Civil War? Oh my, oh my...fan me quick, please, bring the smelling salts...
That's about the funniest thing I've heard all day!
When has this state presented a unified front on *anything*? Why, we don't even have a unified front on how to pronounce our name...
