Lamberts Cafe is in Sikeston, MO

Ed,

One of the rules in going to Lambert's Cafe (http://www.throwedrolls.com/) is to be HUNGRY; however, it is not located in the 'Bluff. It is located in Sikeston, Scott County, MO. The springs at Van Buren feed Current River and keep it a cool 65 degrees, even during the hot summer, all the way to the Arkansas line. Many people take "float trips" of various lengths and sizes of groups.

Humble apologies to everybody from the Boot Hill to Cape Girardeau and West, especially Sikeston, MO. The caption is changed. Thanks for clarifying and thanks for the warning that one needs to be a Good Eater to get through one of the huge meals at Lambert's. We also throwed in a correction on what's throwed: Rolls, not biscuits. -EW

Travel: Rancho Blanco, Van Buren, MO



2010-04-11 - Photo by Jacqueline Wheeler. Van Buren, MO
"The Rancho Blanco picture is one I took while traveling down Highway 60 in Van Buren, MO," writes J. Wheeler of Branson, MO. "I loved the way it is all setup and landscaped, so I snapped this picture. We were out just having a nice road trip and were enjoying the scenery. I'm glad spring is here. Hope all enjoy. From a Columbia, KY native. It's nice keeping in touch."
Van Buren, MO, is in southeastern Missouri and is home to the Current River and the some of the biggest springs on earth, including a monster spring appropriately called "Big Spring." It's not far from Sikeston, Scott Co., MO, home of Lambert's and the famous Throwed Rolls.
If you go, Van Buren is 373 miles from the Courthouse Annex, at 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY. Takes about six and one-half hours to get there. It's a great place to go. Linda and I took a trip there once in the early 1970s. She had been to Horse Cave, and Glasgow and Minnesota, but never to Missouri. While we were there, I asked if she had ever been to Arkansas. She hadn't. We did the Metcalfe Co. thing and drove across the Missouri/Arkansas state line, U-turned, and she graduated into a world traveller. Well, an Arkansas Traveler -EW
