ST. LOUIS — As the Show Me St. Louis team continued their take over in Waterloo Illinois, on-air talent, Malik Wilson took a little detour to check out the Illinois Caverns.
Illinois Caverns is located in southwestern Illinois in Monroe County about 35 miles south of St. Louis. This karst region known as the Sinkhole Plain contains one of the densest concentration of sinkholes in the US. The entrance to the cave (which also has been known as Burksville Cave, Manmmoth Cave of Illinois, Egyptian Cave and Eckert Cave) is located on a 118-acre tract which was purchased by the Department of Natural Resources in 1985.
