Grafton - Sept 19 & 20

Friday morning we took the marina van into Jerseyville to pick up some supplies.  In the afternoon, we biked 5 miles up hill and against the wind to see the small quaint town of Elsah. Whew. The return trip (down wind and down hill) was much I more enjoyable.  Great exercise and views! 
The marina had a potluck for some local loopers that just finished the loop.  It was fun meeting more of our fellow travelers (and the food was great).

After working around the boat Saturday morning, we took our bikes a local "biker" bar for lunch where we were the only bikes with pedals.  Sheli tried to trade up, but no takers.  At night we hung around the campfire with a group of loopers including the Canadians traveling via canoe. They had many stories to share including how the Lannings and Lansers (friends of Sheli's parents) helped them while in Pentwater.  Small world!
