A while back my friend B hit me up with a proposal.   He needed to pick up a piece of furniture for his wife from her grandmother’s house in Macon, Georgia.
“Why don’t you ride with me to go get it?” he asked.   “We can spend 2 days driving down there, then 4 days driving back doing what we love to do.”
Hmmm…  a six-day-long barhopping adventure?   How could I possibly say ‘no’ to that?!?
We set out on Veteran’s Day — November 11, 2010, for a six-day journey that would include our …

We’ll start out at the Kauffman Memorial Garden, and about 2 hours later we’ll finish by crossing under the City Market welcome sign. Highlights along the way will include the Brush Creek Riverwalk, Mill Creek Park, the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial, Penn Valley Park, Liberty Memorial, Union Station, the Crossroads Art District, and the Power & Light District.

This morning I led a small group on a walk through downtown KCMO, over to downtown KCK, and back.
We walked just over 10 miles from the City Market, south through downtown, crossing I-670 at the pedestrian bridge on the edge of the bluff west of Summit. At 17th we backtracked by way of Beardsley and walked down into the West Bottoms using the lower level of the 12th Street Viaduct. Heading northwest through the bottoms, we crossed the Kaw at the Lewis & Clark Viaduct, then …
