yes sir, all over it! clinton's about an hour south of us..
there's a Midland truck on 50 hwy n F hwy across street from what used to be max's market.. not sure names of either now.. buddy and I took two giant crappie to max's when we were kids, matt won biggest for month and year and we got some free tackle for prizes..
grandma lived in clinton after grandpa passed.. they lived in lowery city in a house he built.. lived in the shed during construction.. when I was a youngin grandpa took me fishing all over truman, sparrowfoot was one of our closest favorites.. lowery city was nothing but a blink on 13 hwy.. but grandpa had a nice orchard and garden..
osceola cheese factory was a favorite stop when we'd go fishing further south.. second cousin I think he is, lives in deepwater.. uncle ran trot lines back in the trees swallowed up by the reservoir.. I ran the lines with him a few times, still remember pulling some doggone gar in the boat just because my uncle was too cheap to cut his gear LoL some of them doggone things were right scary, in the boat anyways.. 'now don't let loose of him, don't let go' he'd tell me.. it's a wonder we never got bit..
you probably came up on 13 across truman.. years ago, grandma and a church friend in her olds 98 traveling south to lowery city from clinton across one of those lake overpasses.. she got her tires over the edge of the asphalt on the shoulder and over corrected.. she shot into oncoming traffic and took the duals out from under the back of a set of doubles going the other way! of course the car was totaled, 13 was closed for hours, and grandma barely had a bruise on her, her friend only slightly worse with a few cuts and a broken arm or something minor.. she was a prayin' woman and no doubt wasn't her time that day!
