Once upon a time in a land far, far away, two girls set off on a day of travels, not knowing what adventures lay ahead. They depart from their campsite tucked in the hills of Missouri and take an unknown winding road heading east to the city of blues. After feeling as if they were in their own world for four whole days the young girls are excited to hear from family and friends again. It is not long before the two girls are fast asleep in the back of the van. After making a stop for gas, bathrooms and more bathrooms they continue until they come upon the small town of Sedgewickville. This town is home to one of four covered bridges in Missouri and a working mill. The class meets a lovely lady and her photo shy kitty who show them around the mill and share some history. They are then directed to the opposite side of the river where they complete exquisite colored pencil drawings. It is here that they will also present their vegetation transects that they spent many hours laboring over the night before. Its not long before they are back on the road and in desperate need of some food. It was a high-speed chase into the nearest fast food joint. The girls enjoy a much-needed greasy burger and fries and then they are back on the road with only a few more hours left to travel. They fall asleep only to wake up with the view of the city of blues, Memphis! They arrive in style cruising beneath a sea of bright lights and listening to ‘Walking in Memphis’. They take a tour of parking garages before finally reaching their destination. Finding a quick dinner becomes priority for the girls so they can get a good night’s sleep before their free day!
