Illinois Ultimate Scenic Rivers Route - By WingWanders

Enjoyed actually seeing the river, most of Great River Road has been switched to a newer inland road. The bluffs and bottom lands are much more delightful. Surprised when we passed the first of the caves they've mined in the bluffs. Riding along on a hot day, and suddenly the temperature changes by about 15 degrees colder! The ferry was fun. Got to watch some of the river traffic up and down.
