I had hoped for a bit more. The Breaks are behind a fence with cattle feeding on the other side, so the view is rather limited. Going east to the Robber's Hideout "cave" (more of a natural bridge), the dirt roads were rather muddy from the recent rain. I didn't get stuck, but the mud made it difficult to get to a vantage point where the "cave" could be seen. There is a small, steep hill on the other side of the ditch at the side of the hill that has to be climbed. No more than 5 foot of climbing, but in the mud, it wasn't easy. Nevertheless, I got some pictures.

Headed south and filled with gas. Told the clerk of my adventures.

When I was a child, there was a swimming pool here. I was hoping to stop and go for a swim to cool off. No trace of a pool anywhere.

I wasn't at Red Robin, I was at Regal Cinema next door. I watched the X-Men and The Avengers (probably a mistake as now I confuse the plot lines with each other).
There is a closed Mimi's Cafe next door, I parked the Jeep there and slept for the night.
Picked up some food for breakfast and walked around the park to the north. Came back and picked up some more food for our Memorial Day get together at my cousin's house.

The road was dark with wide shoulders. Drove 1/2 off the highway and slept in the Jeep for the night.
Probably the world's only "drive through" cave.
Unfortunately the Garden is closed on Tuesdays. I took some pictures over the fence.
Located at the confluence of the Ohio & Mississippi Rivers. There is a great deal of barge traffic to watch. There is an old cement structure shaped after the pattern of a tug boat which used to have a snack bar (from the looks of the layout) as well as restrooms. All doors are welded shut, so it has been a while. The park is fairly rundown, but it was a nice place to get out and stretch my legs.
