TABLE OF CONTENTS
The route to Mount Zion, Mo., is scattered with 27 McDonald's restaurants, five Waffle Houses and six fireworks stands (it is Missouri, after all). The town itself resembles nothing more than a neighborhood of about 10 houses, a bible school and a vintage fire engine with a flat tire.
Not many people even know where Mount Zion is. I know this because when I told my friends I was going there for Labor Day weekend, I got blank stares and bunch of,"Why?" responses. I got even more questions when I told them the trip was because I had thrown a dart at a map.
This week, I've recounted the details of all the towns I stopped in during my Dart Trip — from Branson, Mo., to Ava, Mo. Read Jayplay's feature for tips about where to take your own road trip this fall break and Dart Trip rules to live by. Remember, it's about the journey, not the destination.
