Quad Cities

After a fun-filled day in Hannibal, Missouri, Tanya and I headed north on the Mississippi River (by car, not by boat) to Moline, Illinois, part of the Quad Cities area.

The Mississippi River passes right in the middle of the Quad Cities. The Mississippi River trail, a bicycle trail that follows the length of the river, is well-developed in this area. We took a walk along the bike path to see what one city is doing to unify the city and the river.

You can view my pictures of Moline's bike path here. I also picked up several maps and brochures about the area that I will be able to use at school this year when we are looking at the CT River's bike path.
