I took the boys for a walk as Jim set up the trailer for our stay. \240We had curious observers as we traveled down a narrow farm road. \240We looked at each other for a while, and then one by one, the mavericks moved on.

The Gateway Arch, built right on the banks of the Mississippi, provides so many photo-worthy moments. \240This is on our way to the riverfront parkway.
Of course, we need a selfie with our Covid19 masks and the arch above us.
It is an illusion that the arch appears so thin at the top. \240It is actually a formidible steel structure with a tram inside for tourists. \240I love how you can see the curve here.
Here, you can get a sense of it's size.
Our trailer family under the Missouri sun.

The steamboat captain is temporarily on blocks due to a recent Mississippi River flood. \240The city of Hannibal is working to repair the waterfront. \240The river traffic here never stops.
I just had to do it - so I climbed the 244 steps to the lighthouse.
The Mississippi River from Cardiff Hill, above the main historic street of Hannibal.

The Mississippi River on the river's edge ( riverside of the levees).
The childhood home of Samuel Clemens is now a Mark Twain Museum, and the location of a couple of Tom Sawyer movies.
At the base of the lighthouse and just a few hundred yards from the Mississippi River, is a statue of Sawyer and Finn.
The Twain Memorial Lighthouse sits atop Cardiff Hill, mentioned in the Sawyer/Finn follies. \240It was built on Twains's 100th birthday.
