We got an early start in an attempt to beat the rain, but we were unsuccessful. Severe storms (wind, rain and thunderstorms) were forecasted. We were very lucky that all we had to endure was 30 minutes of heavy rain.
This is a picture of the Shelby Missouri courthouse, before the heavy rain.
As a result of the early start and nowhere to stop, we got to Quincy pretty early. The ride over the Mississippi was a little scarey, but it was a good feeling (for Rob and me) to be on our home side of the river.
One advantage of finishing early was that we got to enjoy the historic sites around Quincy.
Quincy was the site of one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858.
This home, owned by Richard Eell has been verified as a stop on the Underground Railroad.
This bank was one of many historic buildings in downtown Quincy.
