Mondays and Tuesdays
« on: August 26, 2014, 11:03:36 AM »
Anyone off on those days and looking to river trip? We put in at Inver Grove Heights and have so far been to Prescott and back. We would really like to go up stream and into the cities, also down to Red Wing, maybe Afton or Hudson. Just throwin it out there as its always fun to have others out and would be nice to go out with some one who has more experiance. Mid day trips going somewhere for lunch that kinda thing.

that sounds like fun, i like to cut out early from work, Laurie and i usually do the st croix during the week cuz traffic is light.
but we are open to anything, and would be great to spend a day on the river with you guys.
ive got mine torn apart right now but hope to test it on the water tonight.
most of my trips are last minute based on good weather.

1:30 to 2:00 for me if i take half day. could meet up somewhare.
i have a pass for st croix bluffs but if water has gone down it may be hard to launch there.

If in Hudson I'd probably catch up with you about 5pm. Otherwise I can do south St. Paul at 3:30.

Tara and I are in for Tue the 2nd. This past Tuesday we put in in Inver Grove and ripped down to Prescott had dinner and ripped back WOT. Probably passed two other boats the whole trip. Came back to the dock and this sweet CV was tied up.

Have you tried Lions Levee in St.Paul Park ?
Free, plenty of parking, dock to tie off to, out of main stream ...

Google map ...

EDIT ...
I've gotten gas at River Heights Marina ... Didn't even know there was a launch there ...
Looks like a nice ramp.
Do you live on that side of the river ?

From Lions levee or River Heights Marina, down to Hastings dam then up to Ford dam and back to launch is a GREAT run !
Sandy beach up by dog park (down from Ford dam) to park.

Been a crappy year for me ... Only been out twice ... St.Croix & Red Wing.
I'm low on vacation days and work Sundays, plus have to work this Monday.
I gotta retire, work takes up to much of my time .... LOL

David, i would like to launch with (or near) Brian and Tara and run with them too.
so Brian, you guys want to drive over to st croix bluffs ? (avoid the lock at hastings)
or if you want to go in at inver grove and through Hastings we could meet ya right there (i would prefer launch at st paul pk cuz its free)
either location would be around 1:30

The River Heights marina is like 5 miles from our house. Thats the only reason we tried it. I am all about free and will check out ST Paul park. We have had good luck so far at the Hastings lock, but I was just telling Tara we could probably find somewhere to launch past hastings if we were in a hurry or getting out late.

The ramp under the 494 bridge is nice too. free, lots of parking, dock.

There has been a lot of barge traffic so I would avoid having to go through the Hastings lock.... Might get trapped on one side or the other.

Jason makes a good point about getting stuck, we like to stay out late and I would hate to try to navigate from Hastings to St. Paul in the dark :/
You guys all open to launching at St croix bluffs around 1:30 or 2:00 ?
Could make a high speed run to the cove and back, grab eats in Prescott and hook up with Jason later and maybe run north.
Spose to be clear and about 50% moon
