The 13th leg of Timeless’ Great Loop adventure will start us down the inland rivers.  From Chicago, we’ll head down the Sanitary and Ship Canal to clear the lowest bridge on the Great Loop.  We’ll then cruise to the Des Plaines River to the Illinois River in Grafton, IL.  We’ll stop in towns like Joliet, anchor at State Parks, maybe tour a tow vessel, ending up in Grafton, IL, a short trip to St. Louis airport.  This 7 day trip will have a mix of marinas and anchoring on the inland rivers and transit 7 locks of the inland rivers.
