Hannibal, Missouri

We deviated from the expedition's route for a field trip to Hannibal, Missouri, futher up the Mississippi River. Of course, this is Mark Twain's hometown and everything here is devoted to him and his characters. Here are Hayley and Jack with Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher with the mighty Mississippi in the background. We spent one night at "Injun Joe's Campground" but with Jack feeling so much better, we decided to move west across Missouri.
