      It used to be much better. Mr. Butcher had a great dream - but moved away and it became “out of sight out of mind”. At one time they had a beautiful wedding chapel, a dancing waters show, and special music. There was a time when we wouldn’t think of going back to Galena, KS without a trip to the chapel. Yes - I grew up in Galena, KS and actually lived just off Route 66 and the Missouri/Kansas stateliness.

    This city of Pitcher was deemed a superfund site due to lead contamination in the soil and groundwater from the improper disposal of mining waste (that's the short answer anyway). My aunt taught there for many years. There was also an issue with the town sinking from the mining hole/tunnels under the town.

Then the name of that roadside attraction, Uranus, I would not be able to keep a straight face going there. 😂😂😂.

  • @kirkhemmens1626
    @kirkhemmens1626 6 років тому

    Hi Adam, Now you're traveling near my old stomping grounds. I grew up 30 miles north of Baxter Springs KS. The town of Pitcher OK was closed because of mining contamination. The piles of rock that you drove by are waste from underground lead and galena mining (galena is a mineral). The dust from the waste piles is highly toxic. Hope you didn't breathe deep while you traveled through. Actually takes years of exposure to be at risk, so the town had to be closed. It is said that you can fly a small plane through the mines underground from Cherokee KS to Pitcher OK and never touch anything. That's how mined out the ground is that you are driving over.
    I mentioned before how you would find the southern Missouri towns very interesting.
    And don't forget Silver Dollar City- a Hillbilly theme park in business since the 1960's. Maybe you can find the forgotten and abandoned parts of Silver dollar City. It was a tourist attraction when Branson MO was just a wide spot in the road. There are towns in Missouri where you literally feel like you go back in time 100 years when you visit there. Northwest Missouri also is interesting. Enjoy!

      I think the naming convention of the fudge place is the joke. Not sure you need to explain it. :)

      Also you’d think that the Fudge sign would be located near the back door.

      Adventures by George i think its pointing to the fact that the main usage of an anus is expelling waste that some people say looks like fudge. its all very nasty and not funny unless you have an IQ below say 60 .
