Friday (7/10)  We arrived in Hannibal, MO.  We are here to spend a couple of days seeing sites related to Samuel Clemens better known as Mark Twain.

We drove west from Sringfield, IL and stopped in a small town that was having a festival in the town square.   The event was Pig Days.   Rich waited on line quite a while for a butterflied pork chop which he said was very good.  

We checked into the campground at a reasonable hour and got set up.  Then back into Hannibal to get some dinner.   Hannibal has a prospect league baseball team called the Cavemen who were playing that evening.  We went to the game and had dinner in the park.  It was a great evening for the game.  The couple next to us starting talking to us and we spent the entire game chatting.   They lived in Quincy, IL and are corn and soybean farmers.  What an added bonus to the game to visit with such nice people.
