Day 134 Party in Grafton

This is our last day in Grafton. The town population swelled to maybe 5 times it's normal number. Walked down to their flea market in the morning that was down in the old boatworks. I found some polished nautilus shell necklaces for dirt cheap, Carol got a nut cracker. We had lunch at the haunted hotel then chilled at the boat for awhile. Later in the afternoon, we took our friends up to see the view from the Aerie's Winery Retaurant. The best part was the ATV shuttle up and back. What a wild ride. The place was hoppin'. Ran into some fellow Loopers who we have been traveling with for some time. In the second pic, right in front and to the left is Estralita, then Fruitcakes, next to them is Midas Touch and lastly are the French Canadian "angels" who helped us in Joliet. You get to know people by their Looping boats. After dinner, we went to the parking lot concert and listened to "Hicktown", a very talented local country music band. The night turned much cooler so we sat by the big bonfire. Wayne's World was all lit up for the occasion. Taking off for Alton tomorrow morning. First time we have left the dock in a week.
