This was my second attempt to get the cake. During the first week of July, I took a drive along the Missouri river road on Hwy. 94 from West Alton to Portage des Sioux, ready to get the cake and see the location. As I got there, I didn't see the cake so I kept looking...and looking. I accessed the stl250 site through my phone and I saw that they listed this cake location as 'Temporarily Unavailable due to high water'. Of course, I was bummed. It was my understanding that it was a vulnerable place because it is prone to flood waters and its closeness to the Mississippi River. But I did get to take some shots of the statue and the walkway.
I returned later that month, when the cake was placed back. (I don't know where it was during its hiatus, possibly in a nearby government building).
The cake, which has quite a pet theme to it, from what I understand artist Lindsay Harmon likes: (This was also one of two cakes that I recall seeing 'tied down' to something. The other one was later Manchester City Hall)
