In the interest of setting, I thought of this place last night as I struggled to get to sleep.

A bit of trivia before we visit Theodosia: the roads in Missouri are "alphabetical".

Missouri Supplemental Routes B and FF concur in Nodaway County. Spur Route N detaches from its parent route in Cedar County.
The more major supplemental routes of the system are ones assigned with single-letter designations (such as "K"). Minor branch routes and farm-to-market roads, which often end at county roads or are former alignments of the other highways, are typically assigned with two-letter designations consisting of two of the same letter (e.g. "KK"). Additionally, combinations of letters may be used, but always with A as the first letter (such as "AD"); the only exception of this is on Route BA in western St. Louis County. Combinations beginning with the letter R are also used for routes that connect with state parks or other recreational facilities, which is the only use of R on the system; Route AR, a non-recreational route south of Bakersfield, is the only exception to this.

The vast majority of the highways in the system are designated with 19 letters of the alphabet. The letters "G", "I", "L", "Q", and "S" are not used because of the potential confusion with other letters and numbers. The only current use of X is on Route AX in Macon County.

These routes rarely run for more than a few miles, although they may cross county lines. At a U.S. Route or Interstate highway, they change their letters; for example, in Greene County, southbound Route J crosses U.S. Route 60 and becomes Route NN, and Route M in Cole County becomes Route J after passing U.S. Route 50. But when Route MM (Greene County) crosses Route 360, it remains Route MM, only changing into Route B when crossing Interstate 44. Route J in Boone County is one of the few exceptions to this, as it continues past U.S. 40 for three miles before becoming Route O upon passing I-70. The names are also reused, but not near one another. Rarely is a letter re-used in a county; there are two Route Z's in Randolph County and two route K's in Carter County. Route D exists in the counties of Cole, Greene, Newton, St. Louis, and several others.

Confused yet? We were while there. The joke is no child in Missouri knows the alphabet until they learn to drive.

Theodosia, MO. Again, a place we spent a few weeks during our RV sojourn way back in 2004, or was it 2005? Whatever.
It is near a Army Corps of Engineers lake called Bull Shoals. Beautiful area, but a bit out of the way.

History
A post office called Theodosia has been in operation since 1886.[6] Some say the community has the name of Theodosia Herd, the wife of an early postmaster, while others believe another postmaster gave the community the name of his daughter, Theodosia Kirby.

Queen Norma Jean presents a gift to you! Another weird idea for setting and surroundings. You can't beat reality for weirdness.
