From Hannibal MO to Louisiana MO on 79 - By mchance

Did this stretch as part of a longer ride from St. Louis to Quincy, IL on the Missouri side, then back to St. Louis on the Illinois side. A very nice surprise along the way, as Hwy 79 is along the river flats south of Louisiana, MO, and you almost have to jump on US 61 north of Hannibal. It's a roller coaster ride amongst the Mississippi River bluffs, and a nice break from the river flats.
