Miles Traveled 51.1
Total Miles Traveled 6984
Day 369
We were off to a late start this morning with dense fog
over the river, but it was all gone by nine and turned out to be another great
day of cruising.
We passed Cave In Rock, a village in Illinois along the
Ohio River known by its tourist attraction Cave-In-Rock. The cave was originally a stronghold for
outlaws, including: river pirates and
highwaymen Samuel Mason and James Ford, tavern owner/highwayman Isaiah L.
Potts, serial killers/bandits the Harpe Brothers, counterfeiters Philip Alston,
Peter Alston, John Duff, Eson Bixby, and the Sturdivant Gang, and the post
Civil War bandit, Logan Belt.
There is also a ferry at Cave In Rock connecting Route 1
in Illinois to Route 91 in Kentucky and began operation in 1807.
We passed a few nice homes built on the bluffs along the
river, I’m sure they have an awesome view…..almost comparable to ours.
We are anchored at Wabash Island where the Wabash River empties
into the Ohio River near the John T. Myers Lock and Dam.
