Pere Marquette day 2

This is day 2 of the Memorial Day weekend. I started with another (wait for it!) Bike ride. I rode 45 minutes on trails uphill and got on a paved road and it took 5 minutes to get down. We drove 4 miles into Grafton to experience it's ambience. About a million people on Harleys were doing the same thing. We visited an indoor flea market that had more people in it than the total population of Grafton (650). We had some time to kill so we took a ferry across the Illinois River to visit a wildlife refuge and the tiny town of Brussels (pop 116). This morning I was thinking today would be a chill day. That didn't work out. Tomorrow we begin a series of 2, one nighters staying in commercial campgrounds, both in Kansas.
