Illinois River - 9/26/05

We had only one lock to go through today. Still no barges with us in the locks. Only two other pleasure craft boats. The scenery is incredible. Lots of wildlife, cranes, egrets and white pelicans surrounding us all the way. It is our anniversary today. We settled in tonight at a little harbor, Hamm's Holiday Marina, just north of Peoria. We celebrated our 13 years together with a special dinner on the boat in this little harbor.
