Hiking along the Illinois River

On a beautiful late September day a few weeks ago, we headed out on the Great River Road and took a hike along the Illinois River outside Grafton, IL.  Saw two adult bald eagles and lots of butterflies.  There are a lot of beautiful old growth trees along the river here.  We did about 4 miles which isn't bad considering Mike has issues with his back.  Stopped at the Grafton Winery for some wine and a late lunch. A great day!












Lots of wild flowers.
