The next leg of the trip included all 5 Riley brothers (Mark, Bill, Dave, Jon and Joe) in and out of various ports between Milwaukee and Grafton, IL, (just north of St. Louis) while Karen got to enjoy some special time with Nora at home. Chicago had a big welcome with fireworks over Navy Pier. The guys made it through a total of 450 miles, 8 locks, tons of bridges and a bunch of tows/barges. Beyond the basic travel facts, as the author of this page (Karen) I am unaware of any of the events that occurred while this crew was aboard. I guess what happens on the boys trip, stays with the boys...
Anyway, they all survived somehow and the boat will remain in Grafton Harbor until early October when we are able to continue down the river.

What fun for the Riley family “the boys” to have such adventure! Serena and I will keep a eye out for the next post, Karen...
