One of the most memorable field trips for me had to have been in maybe fourth or fifth grade. We all got on a bus and we went down to Versailles to see Jacob's Cave.
Maybe I grew up in a bubble, but I always kind of thought of Sedalia and all of Mid Missouri as a crimeless area. I know that's silly, but when I was a kid, and even in my teen years, I didn't hear much about crime in our area.
