Reply to Missouri has roughly $150 million left to distribute in federal housing assistance by Tess_Mac
I’m sure that while both parties will participate in it, a majority on the right will try to push this funding into a different department.

Come to Branson! It's more than just banjo picking hillbillies!
You can golf at Top of the Rock, take a cave tour (take 10, there are caves all over).
Spend a day at the Branson Landing, do some shopping, bowl a few frames and play some games at Andy B's, see the fountains and have dinner at White River Fish Company or Salt Grass Steakhouse.
Take a ride on the Branson Scenic Railway in one of their historic train cars.
Hit the trails and ramps on a mountain bike at The Howler Bike Park. If you don't have a bike or helmet, no worries! You can rent them!
Scoot up to the National Tiger Sanctuary and feed some tigers! From a safe distance and carefully supervised, of course. They also offer golf cart tours if you have mobility challenges.
Check out the shows and attractions on the Branson strip! Mini-golf! Go Karts! Zip lines! Those giant slingshot things that are guaranteed to make you throw up!

Yeah this is pretty regular for wilderness rescue. Also just think about getting a stretcher to a remote location over rocks, looks, etc.
At best it's slowed down, at worst you have to switch out porters of the stretcher every 10 minutes or something to keep the injured moving out ASAP.
Like you said how close is an ambulance, how close to a spot the helicopter lands.
An absolute logistical nightmare that fortunately they are prepared for!

I bet it has to do with something about people not wanting to work anymore. /s Pat Duran is an asshole.

in no particular order.
St. Charles, KC, Eureka springs, Little Rock, Lake of the Ozarks (probably get some off season pricing), Branson if that's your thing

I used to beatbox in my younger days. One of my old best friends that I played video games with is a WELL KNOWN beat boxer, it blows my mind to this day how big he is. His name is Kenny Urban. We use to jam out with a guy named Smvy as well as Roxorloops on ventrilo all the time. I’m not very good anymore tho, I’d need a beer or 2 to beatbox in front of anyone again 😅

No matter what waiver was signed it wouldn't absolve the person running the group of negligence.
It could be argued that the group leader was negligent, could be not advising well the dangers. I have no idea but negligence is still very much on the table for a civil suit at the least.

Petite Jean Park in Arkansas - You can rent a nice cabin on-site or a yurt. There’s a great restaurant near the cabins. Lots of hiking and outdoor recreation in the area.
Pilot Knob, Mo (or somewhere near by) - close to both Elephant Rocks State Park and Johnson’s Shut-Ins, which are the biggest gems in our state. Absolutely worth the trip!
Kansas City - so much to do. Union Station is incredible, and always has fantastic traveling exhibits. Right now they have one of the Mayans. That’s just one of the thousands of things to do in KC.
St. Louis - several free museums and attractions, including the zoo. It’s a good low-cost plan if you’re taking kids.

Eureka Springs, Tulsa, are Good. Even Omaha and Memphis are about 5 hours.

Like how Thunder Ridge's "Nature" Arena cleared hundreds of acres for just parking lots alone.

I beatbox all the time. Used to do it at open mics before Covid kinda shut those down. I have an rc505 as well, if you’ve ever wanted to try using the ones they use for Loopstation battles on SBX.
