Day 165...The Big OLD Bur Oak

Day 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...:)

Putting things in perspective...Mark's 6'2"

Here's a link to more info on the tree if you're interested!

We also took a gravel road that led to an old cemetery...found this interesting headstone!

and Mark got White Castle too... :)
