Could you make it on fuel, or do we need to go into Prescott?

Iam open to suggestions also, would be fun if you and Lisa could join us.
Title: Re: Mississippi Run
Post by: Hyperacme on July 31, 2010, 02:42:05 PM: There's a gas dock across from St.Paul Park ( I think IGH ) about half way between Fort Snelling launch and the Hasting dam.
We stopped there on one of the trips.
I'll probly have to stop there myself.
Title: Re: Mississippi Run
Post by: ChfBrianB on July 31, 2010, 03:32:07 PM: Ok... I'll have to talk with her. She sorta had her heart set on going to Frontenac State park with the dogs, and then stopping in to Island Campground on the way home to talk to Bob and Margi about our reservations.

She and I are trying to do more things that create memories and bring us together, so hiking at Frontenac State Park was one of her suggestions.

Maybe we could do a trip where we put in at Prescott and go down to the campground to say "hi", sometime.
Title: Re: Mississippi Run
Post by: Tonka Jim on July 31, 2010, 06:09:54 PM: Lunch in St Paul or grill something at the Snelling ramp :-/

Title: Re: Mississippi Run
Post by: GT150 JEFF on August 03, 2010, 08:04:42 PM: Gregg I see your tidy white's on your bench, did you have to clean them out after the wood?

Got a brand new Michigan Wheel .
I'll get it fixed.
Title: Re: Mississippi Run
Post by: David CVX-16 on August 05, 2010, 12:58:59 AM: Wow Gregg, that is too bad. That is the second time this year. If that prop works good, we can find another one just like it. Let me know if you want me to search. Is not that the one I picked up from a neighbor about 1/2 mile away for $35?
Title: Re: Mississippi Run
Post by: Hyperacme on August 05, 2010, 04:39:35 PM: Ross ...
We put in at Snelling park and went down to Prescott.

Jeff ...
Yep ... ruined a prop and skivies ...LOL
Did you figure out how to resize/post your pictures ?
Jason might be able to help with Mac info.

Dave ...
Yep ... that was my favorite $35 prop !
I'll bring it in for repair.

Use photobucket or picasa. they automatically downsize the picture. Otherwise I use iphoto for everything. If you use that I can tell you how to downsize and upload the old fashion way.
