Alton, IL - A Day on the Mississippi River

Sat (9-12-09): Well, back to the pigeon. Larry put a notice on Craig's list last night about finding a banded pigeon and long story short--the owner was found. Seems he lives about 20 miles away and had let some of his pigeon off in OK and elsewhere here in IL. He wasn't sure where this bird had flown from and wouldn't know until he saw it's number. He has a website at http://www.goldstarlofts.com/ .

Today was a wonderful day spent on Larry and Patty's beautiful 54-ft cabin cruiser out on the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. (See pics below) Wonderful weather and good friends--what more could you ask for. Grafton (where the marina is located) was having a craft fair in the park and we wandered thru there after we came off the water. Nice fused glass jewelry and other things for sale. It was pork BBQ sandwiches for dinner after at the Hog Pit there in Grafton and then back to the coach to watch the Richmond NASCAR race. Lights went out for me before the race ended!
