Having to wait 4 days in Grafton let us explore the area in more detail. First, this town is about 30 miles north of St Louis, and this quaint one street town becomes the weekend hangout for thousands of St Louis people. There are 5 wineries within one block of our marina and each winery had a band playing on Fri, Sat, and Sunday. They call this the Key West of the Midwest (first pic) and we learned why. Right from the marina there is a Shark water taxi that will take you for ride (second pic). And, of course it is the headquarters of Biker Bayou (3rd pic). We took a 30 mile bike ride to Alton one day, and then a 20 miler to Pere Marquette State park another day. We learned that the eagles are starting to arrive from Canada and this area is one of the most concentrated wintering grounds for eagles in the country. We say many eagles on our way to Grafton (fourth pic).
