THE CITY OF HANNIBAL SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY RENOVATING THIS
LIGHT HOUSE A FEW YEARS AGO, ONLY TO HAVE DOZENS OF INCONSIDERATE
PEOPLE WRITE ALL OVER IT. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, SOMEONE ACTUALLY
TORE OFF SOME OF THE SIDING AND THREW IT DOWN THE HILL. PLEASE NOTE
THAT THERE IS NOW 24 HOUR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE OF THE LIGHT HOUSE!
THERE IS A HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE PARKING AREA WITH 2 PARKING
STALLS LOCATED AT N39* 42.890 W91* 21.565 FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN
NOT CLIMB THE MANY STEPS LEADING UP TO IT. HOWEVER, THE CACHE
ITSELF IS NOT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE.
Hannibal is a great tourist area, especially for those
interested in Mark Twain. Take some time to enjoy the shops in the
downtown area while here.
To get to the cache, you can either climb a "WHOLE LOT" of
stairs from the downtown riverfront area or you can drive to the
parking lot which will put you within a few hundred feet of the
cache site. Even then, you will have to climb 73 stairs. There is a
nice view of the river from the Light House. If you're feeling
energetic & decide to take the stairs from downtown, make sure
you stop & do the "Tom n Huck Cache" located at N 39°
42.780 W 091° 21.480
This cache is a camo plastic jar. The original contents
were:
Pen
Log
Pocket knife
Small booklet of Bible verses
Have fun and God bless!
