Still relaxin' in northern MO

Established in 1859, the town of Brookfield is a pretty mellow place to hang out out in. Apart from general "Black Jack" Pershing's birthplace being just up the road, (He was apparently the first officer to be commended to 'General of the Armies.')  I haven't found a whole lot of historical significance to the town, but the folks sure are friendly here. Buddy's warmed up to the kids that come 'round, and he's even made friends with a little pup named Leo. Two more days of R&R at the Martin House and we ought to be ready to tackle the remainder of this journey. Just under a thousand miles to the sea.
