Re: Tuesday 11/19/2024 Big Creek Cafe, Pleasant Hill, MO or Rae's Cafe, Independence, MO

We had 18 ROMEOs at Big Creek Cafe on a perfect November morning. Many of us enjoyed Missouri back roads on the way to Deep Creek because of construction on the main roads. As usual Big Creek provided great food and excellent service. Pam told me she finally made it to Maine--she's now been to all ...
