St Croix River 10-09-11 Anyone
« on: October 03, 2011, 12:09:13 PM »
I was wondering if anyone would like to join me on Sunday for one last river cruise on the St Croix. Leaves should be just right. Let me know who can make it and where we should meet /start from.
Have a great day
I think this has become an addiction.

It would depend on what time as we have pumpkin picking for the kids scheduled that day (at a church's field so only one day) but I'd love to go out one more time. Perhaps the fall color will be a good draw for the wife and maybe we can get a grandparent or two to watch the littler kids.

I might be going to grand rapids, if I don't then I'm sure I can go.  I'll try to find out by thursday, friday for sure.  I've only ever launched at st. croix bluffs, I'd prefer somewhere farther north if anyone knows a good place.

The only place I have launched is just north of Stillwater. I believe it is a county launch.

Are we all thinking around 11 or so to let it warm up a bit or earlier?

I have never been on the river ,how much fuel? do we eat lunch somewhere or do ya bring lunch,anyone bringing a wife?? I just got home from Williston N.D, and we usually get there weather  ,it was sunny and dry as of late yesterday ! Hope it holds true for Sunday. If it happens I would appreciate directions ,Stillwater or Hudson either works for us.

There are places to get fuel but 12 gallons or a full tank will be more than enough for the day. There are places to eat in prescott, afton, hudson, and stillwater via boat. There are nice beaches also to have a picnic.

Here is the Hudson Ramp: 94 east into WI. Get off on first exit. go north till you get to the light then turn left. Ramp is straight in front of you.

I am fine with 11 and Hudson or Stillwater works for me as well. If you launch at Hudson I just need an address or directions.
I think this has become an addiction.
