Keokuk to Chester, IL


March 5, 2014

The day started with a very slow drive down Grand avenue. This town has a rich history. The rich built fabulous, mostly brick and stone, homes on the bluff above the river. This was my favorite







There was park right at the end of grand avenue





Lock and dam 19 at Keokuk. Water open below the dam for quite a bit,but frozen farther down.





We drove to Hannibal through Missouri.
