So... last weekend I was talking with the wife. and we realized that I have never crossed the Illinois River on the Brussels Ferry. 29 years.... She has ridden it, but many years ago. So we did a day trip. Up through Alton to Grafton, the across the Brussels Ferry, and then up the land between the rivers (Illinois and Mississippi) to cross back at Hardin. South from hardin back to Grafton, where we had a nice meal at the Grafton Winery & Brewhaus.
After some VERY good hamburgers, and a flight of beer samples, it was on to home.
Pulling out from the Grafton dock, looking off the port side.

Looking out the front of the ferry. Well the front of the ferry on this crossing. It is the back of the ferry for the return trip!

Looking back towards the Graftom landing

And a little artsy B&W from midstream. Looking up the Illinois river. I must say I'm rather happy with this one. Also posted at 365.
