Left St. Louis heading for Hannibal, MO.

We left St. Louis from the farthest SW corner on I-270 N all the way to I-70 W. and then up Hwy 79 to Hannibal.  It was a hot ride.  And we both hate that kind of riding in a congested 6-lane Interstate at rush hour in the morning. We survived.

Hannibal is a neat little city.  One can learn a lot about Samuel Clemons in a short time.  Makes one want to read his stories all over again.

Here is where we had lunch.

After lunch?  What should we do?  Mini-Golf,

Dadgumit. Another tie:  one over par, 43.  (We are getting better.)

Then back to see the sights in Hannibal; we really enjoyed this little town.  We toured a museum and Samuel Clemens’ boyhood house.  Becky’s house is across the street.

We then hit the road up to Keokuk, IA.  This is where we stayed for the night.
