Ilion Marina

We went thru two locks and got fuel and pumped out and tied to the wall at the Ilion Marina.  There is a nice little malt shop/burger joint right at the marina!  It must be one of the better places in town because there is always a line at the order window.  We had BBQ pork sandwiches and a strawberry shake for lunch, and a black raspberry malt for desert.

I also did laundry, got groceries, and bought some local beer after John gave me a can that he had bought earlier in the day.

One of the more notable things about the town of Ilion is that it is the home of Remington Arms.  We went to the little museum and gift shop.  I will try to get some pictures from John, since we didn't remember to take a camera with us.  The had a lot of really neat guns displayed.  The 870 shotgun is one of their popular items and the had each of the 1,2 and 3 millionth production guns displayed along with a lot of other firearms.  Very interesting place!
