Sunday, November 20, 2010 - Last night the Tree rolled into its first big city when we arrived in Columbia, Missouri. It was an adventure. Team Tree knew its way around Wyoming very well and knew which turns we could make, which exits we could take and what to expect in the communities in which we arrived. This is no longer the case, of course, and when you are hauling a 67-foot Tree, knowing what you are about to encounter is important. It's hard to imagine what our trailer looks like until you have actually seen it, but let's just say you can't just pull over and make a u-turn if you go the wrong direction.
Nonetheless, the Tree made its way safe and sound into Columbia
for two stops - one at Break Time on Conley Road and the other at the Holiday Inn. The entire Team and our fleet of vehicles came to the celebration at the fuel stop which included free cookies, hot chocolate and fun giveaways! At the Holiday Inn, hundreds of people showed up to see Wyoming's Tree. Check out these photos from our stop in Columbia.
