Jeff my brother in law will be coming down Fri afternoon as well let me know if Greg cant you can ride with him. He gets off work at 3 on Fri and lives in Burnsville.
I think this has become an addiction.

Like to give you a ride Jeff but I think we're going to be full so no back seat. Could ride in the boat.  ;) Not sure of the timing either. I'm hoping to leave home by late morning.

Won't have an empty hitch for much longer  ;D

BTW... forecast is calling for severe thunderstorms for Wed evening, with 60% or better chance of rain that evening... not good tent conditions.  I may wait until Thursday to set up the tent, but the rest of the weekend, Thur - Sunday is looking really good!

I really appreciate it... let me see what the boat has in store for me tomorrow and I'll let you know.  I'll call you.  Thanks!

It was great to see and have lunch with Doran today in Des Moines.  First time eating at a "MAID RITE", loose meat burger... it was good!

pics below, little something I saw on the travels today.  :)

Sure does remind me of a 77 cvx20 jet!
If only I could have swapped out my project orange CVX-20 for Brian's when it was for sale, that was one sweet ride.   :)   No, if I buy another CVX-20 jet, it will be a pristine '77, but orange metalflake, all original... probably my favorite boat of all the glastron/carlson's.  I haven't found that one yet... if it's even out there?

Hopefully nobody is as sick of this question as I am, but just so I get the straight scoop since a lot of you live over that way, how are the current water levels for this year's event?

Now, I know this has been answered in another section recently - plus I know that the level for the barges is much more than any of us could ever need - but you have to take into consideration that we live far enough away semi-isolated in the center of our state where almost everyday when my wife tells someone we are going to your event this year (and she has told A LOT of people so far (she works in the larger medical center in our part of the country) including a few Glastron owners that I think might check into this event and group a little more seriously for next year when they can plan for it a little better (they didn't know such an event or group existed)) more often than not they tell her they've heard there are LOW water levels on the Mississippi.

I keep telling (and reassuring) my wife that those reports are from further down in the southern states and that the levels are actually quite good from what I've heard around the Red Wing area for this time of year.

So just to set the record straight, are the levels as good or normal as I keep hearing they are over there? Thanks and looking forward to meeting a lot of you soon (that way you can associate a face with some of my foolish questions!!   LOL)!   :)

The levels look about normal or slightly low but that is a GOOD thing! Meaning slower current and less debris. As long as you stay between the RED and GREEN buoys you will be just fine. It's not hard either being that the channel is a couple hundred feet wide or more. You won't have any problems. Should be smooth "powering"!

We look about the same.  Picked up a new cover today ... suppose to be raining tomorrow.  We won't be leaving 'til lunch.  I'm excited, boys.
