Illinois' Cache River

From our "About Illinois" series -- we travel to deep southern Illinois to look at the massive wetlands that are a part of the Cache River area. The Cache River formed after glaciers pushed the Ohio River about 20 miles south, to its current location. When the glaciers melted, the former Ohio River channel, filled with water, creating a swamp of some 200,000 acres. This is the most norther of the "southern swamps" that dot the southern states. The Cache River looks as if it is the Louisiana Bayou, and also remains unknown -- even to many who were born and raised in Illinois. But it is the home to vast fauna, wildlife, and to trees that were 500 years old when Columbus came to America.
