The town of Cairo (above) was located between the Ohio and the Mississippi River and had some grand churches and houses.  It must have been a bustling town at one time but like a lot of our other towns, it is going down hill – so sad.

We crossed the mighty Mississippi:

We are staying at the Big Spring Campground which is part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.   It was very hot and “buggy” as we set up so the AC was turned on and up – WOW!  

And another Cat Update:

Dusty and the new little kitty are now playing with each other – Yea!!  So she is a keeper – :-).    How did she travel, well, she slept on my lap most of the time.  At least she was not hiding.

We all went to eat at the Stray Dog BBQ in Van Buren and then took a little ride around town.  Tomorrow we will do a little more exploring so stay tuned.
