One of the biggest surprises to me on the trip was the astounding beauty of the Missouri farmland along the Mississippi. We made a point to take the long way home so that I could shoot some images in the heartland. We stayed the night on the way home in Hannibal, home of Mark Twain. They certainly don't let you forget it! I think I even saw a road paving company named after him. The highlight for us was the "big butter" statue of Mark Twain near a campground (actually a 20-something foot folk art sculpture made of concrete that only resembled butter). On our neverending quest for the eccentric, we simply had to stop and photograph the dogs in front of it.
