That's pretty bitchin!
RE: Capital Punishment: July 16-17
I was planning on taking a tour of that prison in a couple months with the ol lady, maybe we can come out and do it at this time instead. But if it's anything like Alcatraz, I'd recommend ditching the tour and striking out on your own to explore the place, if possible.

I've been thinking about making a thread in "Outside the Ozarks" for just that. It was easily one of the coolest places I've ever 'splored.ropingk wrote:did you all see they are giving night tours of Alkartraz how cool would that be the tour the hospital
I bet Jeff City Prison is cool as well.
