Carbondale to Elizabeth Town, IL...71 miles.
We started before daylight to beat the heat. My new light worked fine. It turned out to be more like June weather than August heat. This is not the really Cave-in-the-Rock, it's just a back road cave on someones property--a darn good excuse to take a break.
We stayed at the Rose Hotel in Elizabeth Town, built in 1812. Nice old place on a Ohio River bluff. Rich and I got the bridal suite. The weather was so mild we had our group cook out by the river. The only down-side there is no Dairy Queen in town.
