[Cob] like to see

[Lisa Winter]

The dancing rabbit is actually in northeaster
missouri.  Quite a ways from springfield, not
undoable.  i'm not sure they have a cob building.  i
had a friend that lived there but she left about 1 1/2
years ago.  maybe they've done one since.  there is
supposed to be a cob house outside of columbia, mo. 
that wouldn't be too far.  i'll find out if i can get
more information.  there is actually a small cob
building in KC (where i live) that someone has done as
a garden shed type thing.  i could find out the
directions if you ever make it up this way.  there is
also a lady on the list who is building cob outside
topeka, kansas not terribly far.
