I spent nearly an hour beforehand trying to find a place for us to stop for the night. We crossed into Missouri and I missed the state border sign. I was still fretting and stewing online when Mark happened to see a Cracker Barrel restaurant along the edge of the highway.

He came right up and sat on our window ledge for probably half a minute or so, having a good look at us as though we were animals in the zoo. We said hello to him and he flew into the tree next to our window. Continue reading
