We headed for Nauvoo on Tuesday. It was a long, long way (over 600 miles) but made good time and with the change of clocks back an hour we got here at about 3 PM. Not much here---we haven't seen a McDonald's for 50 miles. We stopped in at Carthage, IL first as it was on the way to Nauvoo.
The jail was an inspiring place. I took a bunch of photos. This one is of the stairs where the mob broke in and assassinated the prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum. It was emotional in many ways. It brought this part of the history book alive.
