Liked it best in Cuba Mo. a small rural town 80 miles from St Luis. Spent few month off and on there. great people and smack in old cowboy country. Most of the stuff happening in western movies was there. Used to be frontier and Cuba was a stage coach and cattle drovers station and intersection for roads to and from civilization. There was "Hole in the wall" nearby, Liberty town and and brothers James ranch, etc. I held Jessy James' guns and rode horses. Hardin ranch was somewhere there too. All kinds of neat stuff. Went and visited Dan Wesson factory, shot some really powerful revolvers and joined a fast draw competition. I used to be really good at that, also skeet.
Also went to ho downs in old style barns, The Eagles were playing one night. Couple older ladies wouldn't let me go whole time. Lol. had few dances with them.

 

Cool! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself here. You saw and experienced a lot.

Speaking of the James from MO. My maternal grandmother's family was from there and we have James blood line via a Susan James that married a Nelson from Texas. My grandmother's maiden name was Nelson. I think I inherited the James' hairline and other facial features. Looks very much like Jesse's and his brother Frank. Jesse died fairly young, but Frank lived on.

 

Forgot about Route 66, it passes right thru Cuba. I watched Route 66 TV series in'60s and was a fan of it. It was a thrill to drive around. Everything around has Route 66 for name. I was and still am a fan of classic cars and there was dealers of classic cars everywhere. They were sold as they found them, pick them from a farm or ranch and just clean them up. Great climate there, almost no rust. Everybody drives '50s and '60s pickups. Just at that time I was restoring my '66 Mercury M100 pickup in Toronto and needed a windshield for it. Asked around and nobody had parts for '66 Ford (Those were made in Canada as Mercury so they were same), when I asked how come there's none in junkyards they told me that those old pickups get to junkyards only if train runs over them, otherwise they are still driven and nobody wants to sell.

 

Ah, yes, Rte 66. Starts here in Chicago. Now a super slab through Illinois. It's still a frontage road in some places. Here's a pic of it in a burb. U.S. Route 66 - Wikipedia
