I grew up 17 miles, by country road, from Salisbury (where Ethan Edwards is from), probably about 15 miles as the crow flies. Chariton County. Still have a LOT of family there. Dad's farm is about 3 miles southwest of the Linn/Chariton/Macon county corner. It gets more crowded there every year, but there's still a lot of deer/turkeys/squirrels up there to chase after.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
