I can picture a young 3R riding thru Mayberry with his sweetheart on the handlebars lol
You are in SEMO right? Are you south of Cape Girardeau or anywhere near the bootheel? Thats a fascinating area
Actually I was a country boy, so I didn't get to ride my girl in the big city of 1200 where my city girl lived. Until our road had gravel on it, it was mostly sand with short strips of gumbo in between. We had to push our bicycles through the sand to the gumbo stretches where we could ride. Man that gravel was a lifesaver.
Yes, we are south of Cape and I spent much of my career working in the Bootheel which due to the New Madrid earth quake and topography in addition to the plantation mentality which hung on much longer than in most places truly is interesting. It was all swamp until the area was drained and was originally owned by Spain.
It is so flat down there it was widely believed that we didn't declare someone an absconder for two days as we could still see them running down the cotton rows.:laughing:
