I used to fly for Cape Air out of MWA.
I got some really good shots of the Bald Knob Cross when I went up there to try to catch a shuttle re-entry, before they re-covered it.
In your second picture, that straight treeline on the left is where I took this picture, looking opposite the way you're heading:
There's a neat road along those bluffs that leads to some good hiking.
Small world.

Small world indeed. I work at Lambert also, and I see the Cape Air birds yankin' and bankin' out of there all the time. I think I would enjoy that kind of flying for awhile.
The photo of the road leading to the bluffs is probably very near the picture I took out the window. It actually almost seems like the exact same creek line. (edit: oops you already said that)
I was up at the cross too when it was bare bones. I think it would be really cool if they used that stairwell and let people walk up and get a beter view. Maybe just out a window or something, like Cruz said some people don't know how to handle themselved down there.
I miss the area a lot myself. I grew up in a small town so city living is not really my thing. Carbondale is the only place I felt at home, away from home. And SIU is picking up instructors for the upcoming school year... hmm
