“The stable wears out a horse more than the road does.” – French Proverb
The first photo we snapped on a recent trip to Missouri shows a father on the Sporting Road, driving his two sons to the grocery store, which is charming with their little straw hats. And, the second photo really shows the juxtaposition of modern society with the society that the Plain People, or what we call the Amish, are striving to preserve. We ordered some leather goods from our new friend, one of the Plain People, who we stumbled across on the dirt roads of the Ozark hills, where the wooden wheels left tracks that reminded you of a time gone by as we felt a bit odd about erasing three or four at a time with our big rubber tires.
