On the way to Iowa City, the rivers and streams were so high from the unseasonable rains we've been getting, that Paul and I had to take a detour off Highway 61 just before Troy. After returning to 61, we stopped in Hannibal for a few minutes and hiked up to the mini-lighthouse on the Mark Twain Trail. This is how high the Mississippi was. . . .
It began to rain again as we made our way down.

Viewing "lighthouse" overlooking Hannibal

Beyond the lighthouse is a road where prime real estate overlooking the river is located. I stopped in the rain to take a few photos. We were questioned by a police officer who thought he knew me until I looked up from my phone. Hannibal is a cute little town with art galleries, B and B's and restaurants. This was a reprisal of a walk Tess and I took in the Fall of 2011.
