The drive out of Boone County down Highway 124 is a scenic one.
The winding two-lane highway leads past acres of open fields, dotted with houses and barns so far from the road they look small. Cows graze behind barbed wire fences. Sometimes, youâll get a glimpse of a horse, a goat or even an alpaca. Trees and telephone poles stretch toward a sky that, on a clear day, seems to go on for miles.
Once you get far enough down Highway 124, something else emerges in the skyline. A tall, candy cane-striped tower overlooks several properties. Itâs so thin and so far from the road, itâs hard to see from the highway unless you know what youâre looking for.
