Hi. Alayka. I`m replying from Marshall,Mo. I`m Versitiles` camping partner and have been on 4 adventures with him in the last 2 years.The closest one being in Versailles approx. 1 year ago. Versitile,Coonbow, and myself talked to a family who had 2 dogs killed and 1 seriously injured when something pulled 2 of them through a cattle panel fence.This happened early in the afternoon while the family was away from home.This family was understandably shaken-up and were afraid to wander too far from home without(Personal Protection).

Hi Missouribks,

Bear maybe? Cougar?

What's the climate like?

[missouribks]

Not likely either one. no tracks were found on either side of fence. There was an article in the Versailes newspaper about this incident. Approx. Oct.2003. Try contacting Versitile.He still might have the article. These poor dogs were not meant to fit through the opening in this fence. we were shown pictures of the dogs by the family. Whatever did this wasn`t hungry, just mad. more later. Bye.

Sedalia is a good city. Give the chamber a call and talk to them (viistsedaliamo.com). I lived there for years and found it an absolutely great place to live. We were there before and with kids, and enjoyed it a lot. Check out the public schools. I hear the old people and goofballs have stopped new school investment, but there are 2 parochial schools that have very good reputations. It's about 1 hour from KC that gives you fast trip to a bigger city, and Lake of the Ozarks is about an hour south. Very good health care, etc. Excellent comm college, and Univ. of Cent. Mo is about 30 minutes east, and Univ. of MO is 90 min. away. You'll like it, I bet.
