The trees are alive with color! These were taken from a pull-over in the state park. The second picture was taken with the "fish eye"setting on the camera.
These two are from a view point looking over the Mississippi River. Glen, Gary, and Evelyn in the picture.

Below is "Tower Rock" which sits in the Mississippi River, Altenburg, MO. "Tower Rock" is about 12 river miles north of Trail of Tears State Park and rises 90' above the river. See the tug and barges approaching Tower Rock from the right in the first picture. The second picture shows the front and back of the tug/barges behind Tower Rock.
Below is Bollinger Mill State Historic Site, Burfordville, MO.
Below is a tribute to "flour sacks" displayed inside the mill.
This is Glen, Evelyn and Gary on the front porch of the Mill.
It was a beautiful drive through the countryside. The colors were somewhat muted because of the cloudy sky, but nonetheless brilliant. We took turns pointing out especially outstanding trees/views.
High temperature today was only 59 degrees. Jackets and long-sleeves were definitely needed.
After a quick trip back to Sarah's office for an adjustment on Gary's hearing aids we came back to the RVs. Glen and Evelyn enjoyed their two-hour musical jam session.
Tomorrow will bring a close to this stay in Cape Girardeau. Gary and Evelyn are heading back to their home in the morning. We will be right behind them heading to the Ft. Smith Arkansas area. We will spend a couple of weeks visiting with daughter Trisha and her boys.
We have made memories and stored up hugs and kisses and laughs from Darin/Sarah, Ashlynn/Zade. It has been great watching soccer games and St. Louis Cardinal games with the family.
