The sky certainly looked like it could rain when we started out this morning. And although it did rain a little while we were on the road it was not a show stopper. We started the wrong way out of Neunert and had to turn around and again later in the day we also had to retrace our steps. We had a really good brunch in a café in Jonesboro. At that point I climbed in the van thinking there would be many hills between there and Cairo according to the Gazetteer Maps. After a few miles it was evident that was not true so I got on the bike and finished the ride. The only interesting site today was the Mound City National Cemetery, evidently confederate which I would like to come back and visit sometime. At some places there seemed to be a bluff on both sides of us but no river so I need to check out the geology and see what is happening there.
At one point we were just a few feet from the nriver and on almost the same level as the water. In most places there is a large levee between the road and the river.
