Downtown Hannibal, MO from Lovers Leap.
The mighty Mississippi River from Lovers Leap.
A dredging barge being moved up river.
A tug boat pushing nine barges of grain.
The muddy Mississippi River. Each day thousands of
tons of silt is deposited at the Mississippi Delta.
In the back waters of the Mississippi River
you can find acres of water lilies.
Detours can be a constant problem when
traveling. This dirt road was part of a ten mile
adventure. You should have seen the car afterward!
Get a load of this home made John Deere mail box!
I called my daughter while we were still in Indiana
to find out where the Louisville Slugger factory was.
She was able to look up the information and call
me back to tell us where to find it.
Paul Bunyan and the Jolly Green Giant would
have a hard time swinging this bat.
It is the largest bat in the world.
I loved this advertisement for the plate glass company.
Made in Kentucky, USA.
This is the label from the bat.
We found this pink elephant in Huntington, WV.
A father had this made a few years ago as
as birthday gift to his little girl.
Our last night out here in Cumberland, MD.
This is the last posting for our trip through
Middle America. We thank those of you
who have been following our travels.
Soon it will be time to think about
the next trip out to the west.
I close this segment with my new
favorite quote from John Muir:
"The mountains are calling -
and I must go"
