Independence Travel Tips
Independence travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • Independence is a suburb of Kansas City MO. This is where the Oregon trail officially started... I had to see the marker of course !  Stephane C.
  • Easier to find a bite to eat than stopping right in the city. However, if you can make it, go all the way to Columbia before getting gas!  ?? Krissy ??
  • has a great 4th of july fireworks show in the park!  "Johnny"
