We decided to take a drive into town, but didn't see the riverboat. Since we hadn't had breakfast, we stopped at Rosie's Kountry Kitchen.

It was 9:45 and there were only a few people in the restaurant. We had a big breakfast including biscuits and gravy with our scrambled eggs, hash browns and sausage and bacon. While we were eating breakfast, we found out that the riverboat was still at the cave - so we still had time to see it.
We walked over to the Village Hall and I picked up an Illinois road map. Mike took some pictures of downtown Cave-in-Rock.

We then drove through the State Park and parked up on the bluff over looking the river and could see the riverboat at the cave. We saw Lyndal the camp host on the bluff looking at the riverboat. Lyndal was nice enough to take our photo with the paddlewheeler in the background.

We drove a little farther along on the bluff and parked where we had a better view of the
Queen of the Mississippi. A riverboat stopping at the cave is big news in town and we saw several people up on the bluffs looking at the riverboat.

We even got to hear the calliope play a few tunes while the riverboat was docked at the cave.

We got up on the bluff at 10:30 and stayed until 11:40 when the paddlewheel finally left to travel north up the Ohio River.

We spent the rest of the day at the RV and enjoyed another cool day with the windows open. We were supposed to have thunderstorms earlier today, but the storms went north around us and we had a nice sunny day.
We just now closed our windows and turned on the A/C - it's cool outside, but the breeze we've enjoyed all day is gone.
