There is a very special place, near the very center of our country, called Tarkio, Missouri. Now, I don't claim to know that much about Tarkio; I was only there for two days, and I flew over its treetops more times than I set foot in their shade. But it really struck a chord with me. I'm hoping these pictures will explain why. Pilot: Sam Graves, Cameraship Pilot: Scott Romuld, Pictures by Max Haynes
