Independence Missouri

What a change of scenery---8,640 feet elevation on Continental Divide to 900 feet here and temp in 70s.
Went to the Visitors Center and Christus in this picture is depiction of  Second Coming--some others depict the creation.



 
       This is temple of Church of Christ---were told there are over 30 churches broken away from RLDS

This was taken from top of temple lot.  Visitor Center across street and temple to the left.


These next two are at Liberty Jail.  This was reconstructed within feet of original jail and as much of the old materials that could be used are part of the reconstruction.


           
                       Taken outside Liberty Jail.


New Kansas City Temple----kind of a beige color, very impressive building.

Will take a day or so and we will be in Memphis----may or may not see a few things there and then finally on to Mississippi-----need to stay put somewhere and get some washing done!!!

Love to all from the Traveling Grannies

    Just got the link to your blog...I thought maybe you decided against one, since I hadn't heard about it. But now that I know, I will pass on the link to everyone I know - Lol! Love seeing the pictures and your trek across the country. Just one question...why did you have Idaho potatoes in your car? :) Keep up the great work! You two are an inspiration! "Granny Trails" - Love it!! Keep the stories coming!
