Alton, IL

Illinois, Inland Rivers, The Great Loop

Alton, IL is a bit of a milestone since it means we have completed travel on the Illinois River and entered the Upper Mississippi River.

Some loopers like them, some tolerate them, and a few say they are the worst part of the loop. Our next leg is the the inland rivers running from Chicago to Mobile covering 1,300 miles of rivers and canals.

What fun! Three Sons docked at DuSable Marina for 6 days in downtown Chicago. It was a perfect location to take in all the sights. But the best, most wonderful part is Zach flew in and toured the city with us!

Quick stops in small towns and they each had live music and a brewery!
