The Mescher Family Vacation to Mississippi Palisades - Sept 24-27, 2001
Hiking on the trails... Melissa liked the backpack as long as she had something to munch on...   The two pictures on the right are at Upton's cave.
Some of the great scenery from the overlooks you can reach via short hikes.  These views face northwest of the campground.		More shots facing north along the Mississippi river.
You're now looking south along the banks of the Mississippi.  The bridge you can see in the distance crosses over into Iowa.		A sheer cliff and some old stone ruins.
Our campsite	Mommy and Melissa	Melissa loves her VeggieTales!
Still watching VeggieTales... it's Larry Boy!		Melissa in her carseat... apparently a very comfy carseat.
Murray loved the trails... all that walking really wore him out.
Tom indulging his love of trains.  The BNSF runs between the river and the campground and the various lookouts provide some amazing places to take train pictures.
