At last, we have left the Mississippi River and turned right into the Illinois River, and have stopped at Grafton at mile 0 on the Illinois River.

What a cute quaint village. Very empty, but with hundreds of BnB’s and restaurants. Apparently it absolutely gets so full when Summer sets in.

The Loading Dock Restaurant, our dingy landing and serving excellent craft beers.
