    • Drive to Lake Marin.
    • Paddle on a kayak.
    • Feed bison, or other hoofed animals.
    • Venture to an alpaca farm.
    This route includes CCS charging stations. For Tesla Superchargers, follow this link.
    With a fully charged vehicle, make your way to Lake Marina, the first "clean Marina" in Missouri and venture on a kayak, or wander the area. There's a plethora of other things that are offered here. Thereafter, drive to an 110-acre fence enclosure that has a variety of hoofed animals.
    There, you can feed them and learn more about bison, elk, and white tailed deer. Subsequently, it's time to head to another place with animals. But this place has alpacas, and the owner has a vast amount of knowledge about these fluffy creatures. This trip is filled with meeting animals and has a little bit of nature mixed in.
    Make sure to fully charge your car before going on a road trip.
