Hannibal, Missouri
In 2011 and 2014 my auto trips took me through Hannibal, Missouri. Hannibal is noted as the home of the fictional characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in the novels by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). In 2011 I had more time there, and took a cruise of the Mississippi River on the steamboat Mark Twain. My visit in 2014 was much shorter. This set includes photo from both drives.
