The river is frozen over---It's white ice here. You are right about the "big muddy" though.

About 25 miles west of Columbia, Missouri and 2 miles north of the Missouri river. Little town of New Franklin, Missouri---est. 1832 and crossroads of 4 trails, the Boonslick trail, the Santa Fe Trail, the Lewis and Clark trail, and the MK&T railroad (now a bike trail--230 miles long). All are within 3 miles of my home.
Lewis and Clark came through here in 1804, Daniel Boone and his sons blazed a trail through here and operated a salt operation nearby and the famous Santa Fe Trail started in Franklin, Mo., about a mile from here. Franklin was washed away by the Missouri river in 1828 and people moved to the a hill nearby and named the town New Franklin.
End of history lesson. Lotsa history around.

Best find is attached. It's one half of a bullet mold. Some say it might be Confederate because the Union molds usually had three molds. This place has been hunted for 30 plus years and still gives up good relics. Did you hunt this site too? The Missouri Conservation commission bought the land down by the river but up where they camped is still privately owned. Of course the first thing they did was to ban metal detecting although they can't watch it 24 hours a day.
