We have been driving around the area and have found some really niece photo ops. The weather has finally been warm and we have been cleaning the campsite here in the campground in preperation of opening day May 3rd. Today the weather was great temps in the 40's and 50's. Here that is warm. lol
We have a fishing pond here in the campground and we have three pairs of Candian Geese setting on nests, can't wait till the eggs hatch to take pics. So far they are too far away to get good photos. there is a small island in the middle of the pond and that is where they are. but we have seen a lot of river turtles. had to rescue one today from the middle of the road. He hissed and snapped at me when I picked him up. No sense of gratitude at all LOL. We took some pics of the countryside around Hwy 79 south of Hannibal. In the bottomlands. and we took some in historic Hannibal, where they dropped concrete gates into slots of concrete in the levy at the railroad tracks between the river, tracks and the town. The water is up to the control arms of the RR crossings. The Mississippi River has really flooded this year, about 18 feet above normal flood stage. We had winds and rain and looks like we will have more rain next week,the trees are getting ready to burst into bloom and flowers are all blossoms, just waiting for enough sun and some warm temps and they will explode. Hope all is well with friends and family. will write more later
I enjoy reading about your adventures. Those pix of the farmhouse & barn remind me of the last part of the movie "Twister". Sounds a lot more interesting there than here, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the barns! The pics kind of remind me of our website and Facebook page for the business! Glad to see y'all are having an enjoyable excursion! Charlene
