Have You Heard of a Little Place Called Cave in Rock?

One Sunday afternoon in May after meeting Evan's mom and step-Dad for lunch in Golconda, we decided to venture off to Cave in Rock... Actually he decided to venture off to Cave in Rock, I had no idea where we were going until we pulled up...

Cave in Rock, for those of you who are unfamiliar is just what it sounds like ... a cave, set back in a gargantuan rock.  The rock is limestone and the cave is about 55 feet wide.  

Cave in Rock is now a tourist stop, but it's history is not as welcoming...

It's been said for many moons that this used to be a hideout ... a perfect little spot along the Ohio River, situated just on a bend, that allowed pirates and pillagers to lie in wait and create havoc on passers by ...

A Bit o' the Super City Blues and Ques #1

This year's Super City Blues and Ques was my first experience behind the scenes... Evan is a chef and a master of the "barbie".  Though no trophies were brought home this year, I was still rather impressed with the eatins! 

Evan preparing on Friday Night... 

This was  taken late Friday Night ... after tasting the brisket on Saturday around 11am, my Dad officially banned Evan from coming to their house unless he brings a brisket... 

I'll be bringing more views to you from the Super City Blues and Ques as well as photos from the awards ceremony as soon as possible...

Have a grand and groovy day!

A Peek at some Super Runners...

After making a couple of passes up and down Market Street to gather our dinner on the Thursday of the Superman Celebration, Evan and I went for a little drive through town to see the sights...

In the vicinity of the Metropolis Library we encountered many runners....

If I'm not mistaken, these folks are taking part in the Superman Road Race ... I'd have to look back at the schedule to swear on that.  Personally, I don't run unless someone is in danger, but I do see more and more folks of 35+ on my news feed enjoying running as a hobby and I think that's grand!  I, however will stick with my biking...

By the way ... Evan scored a fantastic vintage bike for me during the week of my birthday!  Things were hectic and I haven't gotten around to riding it very many times, much less photoging it and sharing with you the details of it's vintage lovliness, but I'll get to that as soon as possible... 

Over and Out for now...

Fireworks Go Boom - 2013 Metropolis Fireworks - Part 2

I'm dropping in to bring you a few more shots from the Metropolis 4th of July Fireworks... As I had mentioned in an earlier blog, I watched them from the riverfront last year all tucked into a corner with a bunch of hooligans... 

This year I watched them from the front of my new residence with Evan here at House at Pooh Corner...  Our friend Mike stopped by and watched with us as I roamed up and down the street to get the best angles... 

A few random neighbors were standing on the sidewalks and in the street, but I certainly didn't have to fight a crowd and that was absolutely lovely!

After the booms and flashes ended, Evan sat off a few fireworks for our personal delight... it was a bit to my chagrin though, I prefer to watch fireworks from a bit of a distance ... it's too easy for something to tip over and take someone's face off at close proximity... anywho... I'll bring you a few more shots of the July 4th celebration as the week goes on.

It's on my list to share some Superman Celebration and Super City Blues and Ques with you later today ... so be sure to bookmark.  Also, while I'm thinking of it, photos of the Super City Blues and Ques awards ceremony will be available at www.KCoJax.SmugMug.com this week at some point and I'll bring you that link when I have it... 

Have A Grand and Groovy Day!
