KY to IL to KY again

 Today we drove over the Ohio River into Illinois from Kentucky.

 In Golchonda, IL we saw murals in the city and learned the Cherokee Trail of Tears came through on their walk to Oklahoma.

  Rock-in-Cave, IL is an old pirates' cave (now in a State Park) on the banks of the Ohio River.

 We watched cliff swallows above the cave entrance, tending their nests.

  We took a small car ferry across the Ohio River back into Kentucky --

  and drove back roads through farms and acres of wheat fields.
