i was actually pulled off beyond the shoulder. Far enough to where when i opened my door it wasn't even close to traffic. After i got home i called the troop d in Springfield Mo and asked them if there were any rules on collecting on Missouri roadways and they told me it was officer preference but they thought if its not it should be illegal due to safety

Were you parked all the way off of the shoulder? I've never had a police officer stop when I'm at a roadcut (yet), but make sure you park off of the concrete on interstates and away from curves and such. |

i stopped in back in march and a state trooper told me i had to leave as my being stopped there was a safety hazard. Has anyone else had this happen to them or was it just a trooper in a foul mood?

I recently went back to this area and chipped out some more pink dolomite from the west side of the highway and discovered some druzy quartz, calcite crystals, and massive calcite in the upper layers of the roadcut that I previously had not noticed. |
