Grafton Illinois is at the junction of the Illinois River and the Mississippi, just 25 miles straight north of St. Louis, MO. It is dawn and we are about to take Rock Chalk out into the Mississippi for the first time. Just wanted to post some great photos of our last night on the Illinois. Fall is here, as we have had some lows in the 30's and you can see that in some of the trees.
Huge flocks of geese, white pelicans, blue herons, egrets, and even a few bald eagles, are all forming up in big V's to head south. So are the boaters. There were 12 Looper boats here in Grafton yesterday who all headed down the River. I know of 5 that are leaving along with us this morning. Kentucky here we come.
