A nice day trip in the Maverick Hybrid.

[Hermann]

Yesterday Karen and I went to Jamesport, MO to visit the Amish culture and businesses there. A beautiful day after a cold front came through. Stayed off I-35 going there. Took US 69 to Gallatin, MO then State Route 6 to Jamesport. Since MO passed a fuel tax increase, a lot of rural road that get heavier traffic, are being FIXED and widened. Lots of nice smooth asphalt with lots of fun curves. Heres a dash pic for the outbound trip.

After eating at a Amish buffet, we strolled around the business district and went into several shops. Went to an Amish Salvage place. Not cheap but had good brands.


On the way back we took I-35 south after going to Winston, MO. I wonder if it is named after the cigarette brand, as this area still produces lots of tobacco for premium cigars. Had a light northerly tailwind and got great mileage for running 70-75 mph.

I was hoping to read about some impressive gas mileage numbers. Edit - see there was supposed to be pics but there didn't attach.

I can get 42 mpg on my 08 civic on the freeway. No electric. Still not bad i guess.

I'm interested in the Amish buffet, what's the name?
I usually go to the Amish restaurant in Garnett but no buffet there.

To be honest if I go there again I will order from the menu.

What is an Amish salvage yard? A car junkyard like a pick and pull?

They sell freight salvage and unclaimed orders from companies. They had a stack of Craftsman Power washers. Even a couple of Amazon return big bins. I recognized the common shipping label they use at Amazon.
