Florence, IL to Grafton, IL

Miles Traveled 57.6
Total Miles Traveled 6615
Day 362

Another fast moving day on the Illinois River, our average speed increased about 2 mph with the high water.  We did have to constantly watch for debris, and some of the navigational aids were moved off station.




The Gateway Western Railroad Bridge.



This car ferry was busy loading and unloading vehicles on each side of the river.



We arrived at Grafton Illinois, Mile 0 of the Illinois River.  The Illinois River flows into the upper Mississippi River at Mile 218, we will continue south to Mile 0 at the junction of the Ohio River.
