From the church we headed out on our way to Illinois about 56miles away. We got out fairly late and took it fairly leisurely. The wind started to pick up during the day impeding our progress significantly so we made it to the illinois border at about eight at night. The border of illinois and Kentucky is the Ohio river. Unfortunately this crossing of the Ohio was not a bridge as in every other place but a ferry. When we arrived the ferry operators did not want to make the return journey across the river as the winds were high and it was fairly dangerous, however some guy working for the state managed to convince them to do one last crossing, if that had not have happened we would have been camping on the wrong site of the river with hot showers and food within sight on the other side. We are so so glad we got across to the campsite cave in rock state park.
I think you can see the glee in our faces here for boarding the ferry. Wind was high so ferry was swaying everywhere - hence the poor photo.
