Well HollyAnn, we are neighbors, so to speak. I live in Columbus, Ks. which for those that don't know is about 15 minutes or so west of Carl Jct. over in southeast Kansas. So i will have to tack on that 15 minutes to your 1 hour and 45 minutes and say we are about 2 or so away. That is if we take back roads down, which would actually bring us in thru Branson West, or about 3 hours if we Take I-44 to Springfield and then south to Branson on 65.
