Mark Twain Lake Campground, Hannibal, MO - Tom Sawyer - Huck Finn

Friday we relocated to Ray Behrens Recreation Area on Mark Twain Lake in Perry, Missouri.  This is a large lake that covers about 30 Sq. Mi.  and has 285 miles of shoreline.  It was created by the Army Corps of Engineers and is controlled by the Clarence Cannon Dam.
