I would say 15 miles or so.If headed north on 28 from I-44 it was on the right hand side.
Was it around Dixon? i'm interested and close let me know and i will drive over and check it out.

yessiree bob, that was bamboo. (not making this up, i play a botanist in real life) what you saw was american cane, hopefully. it could have been actual chinese bamboo but it is unlikely. american cane looks almost identical and it is a native to missouri. it doesn't usually occur that north but it has the ability to do so. there are some awesome stands all over southern missouri and arkansas.
