Houses on Stilts
Mileage 88.5 to Grafton Illinois, Mileage 0 - Beautiful day, high around 70 F. The scenery is getting better. We did see homes built on the river flood plain on stilts. Definitely no basements. Strange to see. We were docking at the marina and got stuck in the mud at our slip, apparently the river went down but in 30 minutes we were floating again. On Saturday it rained off and on and we did our chores, laundry and shopping. We are now finished the Illinois River and with be starting on the Mississippi River.

And I thought our crawl space was big -- imagine all the junk Danielle could fit under those houses.
