River Run Saturday or Sunday 7/14 or 15
« on: July 09, 2012, 12:24:15 PM »
Summer is half over.......Time to get the boat wet!

I am free either day. I would love to head out on one of our beautiful rivers. I am open to suggestions.

Would love to if Saturday early. Don't know if it'll work out though since my play The Wizard of Oz opens this weekend. And I'm having boat carb issues!

Maybe I could tag along with someone.

I am in as long as I get the boat back together.
I think this has become an addiction.

How are the rivers for debris?  There were sailboats on Lake Pepin yesterday, but not many power boats.

Dave, rivers are great. No major rain in a while means rivers are on the decrease which mean debris is getting hung up on the shores. I walk by the mississippi in So St. Paul 3 times a day and it's been looking great. Of course, the St. Croix is always clean, but I would rather hit up the Mississippi anyway. St. Croix is getting really busy.

Excuse the thread jack, but would anyone be interested in going out on the St. Croix and camping on an island one weekend this summer?  I've never done it but have heard its a good time.

Good to hear that the rivers are settling back to normal. I'll try to make it Saturday or Sunday. May have a committment on Saturday. Somebody else choose the river, day, time.

Sat. , Miss. , 8:00 ,  Lions Levee or under 494 bridge ...

If Sat. won't work for every one I think I could do Sunday, have to check,  but already got the "Thumbs Up" from the War Dept for Sat.

I would prefer the Lions Leevee at St. Paul Park. The 494 Bridge ramp has big rocks on the beach which make some gouges in the bottom of my boat late last fall. The Lions Leevee ramp has that big drop off after the concrete though.

Let's have a roll call as the day approaches. I would prefer Saturday with a 9 AM launch at the Lions Leevee at St. Paul Park. I suggest that everyone bring their own food and beverages.

My two sons and daughter-in-law may come. Ursala's maiden voyage in my V-153 on the St. Croix two years ago was in the punchered hull and we were lucky to limp back to the boat ramp. My have to use the Raker 20" rather than the 22" Raker because of the weight of passengers.

I'm a maybe,

I'm schedualed to re-sheetrock my buddy's cabin that flooded a few weeks back, however he just recieved word that his uncle has passed away so construction might be halted for this weekend.

If that is the case, My wife, the 2 kids, myself, and maybe the dog are in.

**********EDIT*********
I'm out, I'm going to sheetrock for the evening, I'll probably be out somewhere on Sunday though.

I like 9AM too. Lion's levee works for me.

We will likely be on the St. Croix Friday afternoon too.
