Taum Sauk Mountain


Now I'm in Cape Girardeau, MO, after a day at Taum Sauk Mountain State Park. A pretty nice place, with a really good panorama observation deck. Taum Sauk Mountain is the highest point in MO, at the dizzying elevation of 1772 ft. After getting over the vertigo, I hiked down to the Mina Sauk Falls and the Devil's Tollgate, which of course, I ate lunch on top of (see big rocks below). I make a personal appearance in my blog this time - to show you I am none the worse for the wear so far...









Using my cell-phone and a wireless hotspot to do some catching up w/ people and post this blog, then I might be relatively quiet for a few days until I wander down to Paducah, KY.

Gonna camp by the Mississippi river tonight, then move on into Illinois.

Okay, I'm so silly I didn't even think to click on the pics to see them BIG. NiCe! Now I have to go back and see them all...--T.

Heading towards Illinois, eh? Any chance you're coming as far as Chicago? We'd love to see you, amd Thanksgiving is quickly approaching...

Now we know the answer to our question, what's on tap between Taum Sauk and Paducah....a night or two on the Mississippi!!...This has been quite an adventure..hope the relatively good weather holds out....you seem to be only one step ahead of really cold weather..in the twenties tomorrow night here in Columbia.
