Iam thinking just to the hastings lock

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.

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.

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.
