ALTON, IL

September 18, 2011  Dateline:  Alton, IL, USA
I left Grafton, IL this morning at 9 AM and in an hour and half I was in Alton.  The trip was a slow because of the rain that was falling and the limited visibility.  I went close to the Limestone Mountains and Carol got this picture showing the effects of the river on the cliffs.


The real target for today, I learned, was the Argosy Casino in Alton.  Carol, Francine and Wayne went to the casino and Rich stayed behind. (Rich doesn’t gamble). Rich came over later and they all had a wonderful dinner at the casino’s buffet. Only Wayne came back a winner.


Tomorrow it is off to Hoppies’ about 60 miles and two locks down the Mississippi River.
