The major attraction at Cave-in-Rock State Park is a large natural cave, 55 feet wide, which has been carved by water into the limestone bluffs that border the Ohio River. Cave-in-Rock was known and used for thousands of years by American Indians. It was mapped in 1729 by the French explorer de Lery, who named it Caverne dans le Roc, which in English is Cave-in-Rock, the name that this natural landmark bears to this day.
During the late 1700s and early 1800s, Cave-in-Rock gained notoriety. as a hideout for river pirates who preyed on Flatboats carrying farm produce from Kentucky, Ohio, and southern Indiana to New Orleans and other ports down river. Later in the 1800s, Cave-in-Rock was tamed by settlers who formed the river town of Cave-in-Rock, Illinois near the cave.
The state of Illinois acquired the cave and surrounding property beginning in 1929 and formed the Cave-in-Rock State Park.
At the time of our visit, the entrance to the cave was completely submerged in river water due to recent winter storms. We enjoyed this unusual opportunity to see the river at flood stage, although we could not enter the cave.

My little wooden rocking horse which has a special place on the kitchen cupboard. Strange how you really start to think about an object when you really look at it. As I was drawing the little horse I was thinking that this was once a tree and it inspired the words which I had written on the opposite page.
During the last week of August the latest Feadship Motor Yacht ROCK.IT was launched.

The video doesn't show how steep this rock is............or maybe it seemed that way as I didn't want to fall.
