Day 165...The Big OLD Bur OakDay 165 I've been wanting to photograph the old Bur Oak tree outside of Columbia, MO for a long time now. We decided to make the journey today... Another day trip! We've been by it before when riding bikes on the Katy Trail a few years ago but I didn't have a camera with me on that particular trip. This time, with the heat being an issue, we decided against taking the bikes and did a Mapquest on how to get there by car!!! It was quite a drive on a hilly, curving, two lane highway once you got off of I-70 but we found it! When you're biking on the trail, it's only about a mile off the trail! We had a lot of fun today... another "Mark and Gayle adventure" as Mark always says...:)

We also took a gravel road that led to an old cemetery...found this interesting headstone! 
and Mark got White Castle too... :)
