Get on state highway 63 south of Jefferson City and wander south. Plenty of side roads to explore. Ozark streams: Jack's Fork, Eleven Point. Like little old German villages? Vienna, Herman, Westphalia, Dutzow. Caverns? Onandaga Caverns off of I-44 near Rolla. Onyx Mountain.
Unless you enjoy traffic jams and way too many people, avoid Branson, Lake of the Ozarks, I-70 corridor and lack-luster Merramec Caverns.
