Bigfoot, Pacific Missouri & Brownie Breakdowns

We start in St. Louis and head toward Springfield, Missouri, with one of the most meaningful stops of the whole trip: Bigfoot 4x4 in Pacific, Missouri. For me, Bigfoot is personal. Bigfoot helped make me fall in love with dentside Fords, lifted trucks, KC lights, winch bumpers, and the whole look that shaped so much of what I love.

St. Louis, Pacific, Bigfoot 4x4, the Red Cedar Inn, Campbell Service Station, and Cuba, Missouri.

One of the biggest childhood full-circle moments of the trip.
