I would love to see that Alcoa bridge!  Could we have a Wednesday tow party to the St. Croix and head up from there perhaps?  Dunno where exactly?

I have a lot of work to do on my boat before I'll trust it enough to do a run like that!  (Tank is out for repair now!)
benies in lakeland (just south of 94 MN side) $10
hudson $11
st croix bluffs (just south of knikki) i think its $5
a free ramp in stiliwater but its really shallow there

I plan to arrive late afternoon Thursday, put in at TI, park in slip, then park rv and set camp.  Might go out for an evening cruise.  Was planning an all day trip up and down the river on Friday. Might seem like a long day, but that is why we are bringing a boat.  Keep in mind that we do not have such opportunity here, so all day in the boat to us is desirable.  Maybe find a river restaurant or something, or even bring a lunch. Like to be on the river by 7am, but would wait if others agree to 8am.  Wouldn't hurt my feelings if we got back at dusk.  Just my $0.02, Michael.

Yes, Friday.  It will likely take most of Thursday to get there, rv seems to like 55-60. Could drive halfway Wednesday, but I like to travel in daylight since I'm new to the rv.  I seem to remember arriving around 3 pm last year.  Sorry for the confusion.

Last year a few of us did 80 miles on the river. We started about 10 am and were done around 6 pm if i remember right. We launched in St Paul Park went down to Hastings dam, then up to Minneapolis. We stopped on a few beaches even grilled on one of them. We were in no rush all day and had plenty of time and daylight. Me and Jess ended up going out on White Bear later that night to meet some friends. It was Me, Jason, Dave and Joe. Here is the thread     http://forum.cgoamn.com/index.php?topic=5365.0

I think a trip from TI up to High bridge would easily be done in a day.
I think this has become an addiction.

just wanted to push this back to the top and see what people are thinking for a Thursday or Friday morning run.
maybe even an evening cruise on Wednesday.

I would probably do a thursday evening run. Friday, I was thinking about a run to the hastings dam and then back to the cove for lunch or stop at prescott for lunch while the girls are on the cruise.

We are wanting to make a run up the Minnesota river from TI on Thursday.  Wednesday evening cruise would be nice if we arrive early enough

I've only been on the Minnesota once and I believe we went in the spring when the water was high. Otherwise could be shallow. David seems to know about the Minnesota. Maybe he'll chime in.

I have not been on the Minnesota River for years, but traditionally the water level drops in the late summer and fall to the point where you may very well hit a submerged large log.  I did a search of the water level of the Minnesota River at Savage, and it currently is only one foot higher than the lowest recorded level.  I would stay off it beyond the Fort Snelling boat ramp.

http://www.lawrencevilleweather.com/wx.php?forecast=riversobs&gauge=savm5

Water level is now at 688.30

                                Low Water Records
                     1) 687.10 ft on 10/29/1976
                     2) 687.50 ft on 10/05/2003

On jun 7 this year we went from ft Snelling to chaska (about 27 mi)
Level was good then, lowest spot was right at chaska (about 6')

Thanks for the info.  I'll have to re-think that trip.
