JUNE 10. THE OZARKS
As you can see we are still working very very hard. We took these pics at Dusty's house, just outside Sabula, which is in Iron County, Missouri. Dusty and Judy welcomed us into their home, talked to us about being a couple in such a conservative environment, gave us strawberry shortcake, and let us hold their guns.
Driving up to see Dusty and Judy we saw: a turtle crossing the road, a ground hog scurrying into the bushes, a confederate flag flying high above a log cabin and countless little cottages and trailers.
Our time in St Louis was unforgettable. We were blown away by the warmth and generosity of the people we met and the landscape of the town was both beautiful and heartbreaking. We entered this trip knowing the risks involved in driving miles and miles to meet perfect strangers, but the love and support we received in St Louis - both personally and for the project - was a wonderful confirmation of the existence of, and strength in community.
