Hannibal, MO-Mark Twain's hometown: June 26-28, 2010

We rejected the campground where we had a made a reservation. Injun Joe’s Campground’s toilets weren’t working and the whole place seemed in sad shape. Instead we found a campground near Mark Twain Cave that had clean working toilets and shade. It was HOT-105 degrees. The mosquitoes were vicious. We were faced with a tough choice:-outside there were bugs but some air flow; inside the camper there weren’t any bugs, but it was HOT. It was not a comfortable night’s sleep.



The next day we toured Mark Twain’s cave led by a goofy tour guide and saw the spots made famous in “Tom Sawyer”. This is another cave that claims that Jesse James stayed there. For lunch we enjoyed our first “Made Rite”, which is a seasoned loose meat sandwich, similar to a “Sloppy Joe” but no sauce. I’m sure I had some of you at “loose meat”.  We toured the Mark Twin museum and took a ride on a riverboat. Second night in the camp ground was not as hot or crowded.
