Hopefully nobody is as sick of this question as I am, but just so I get the straight scoop since a lot of you live over that way, how are the current water levels for this year's event?
Now, I know this has been answered in another section recently - plus I know that the level for the barges is much more than any of us could ever need - but you have to take into consideration that we live far enough away semi-isolated in the center of our state where almost everyday when my wife tells someone we are going to your event this year (and she has told A LOT of people so far (she works in the larger medical center in our part of the country) including a few Glastron owners that I think might check into this event and group a little more seriously for next year when they can plan for it a little better (they didn't know such an event or group existed)) more often than not they tell her they've heard there are LOW water levels on the Mississippi.
I keep telling (and reassuring) my wife that those reports are from further down in the southern states and that the levels are actually quite good from what I've heard around the Red Wing area for this time of year.
So just to set the record straight, are the levels as good or normal as I keep hearing they are over there? Thanks and looking forward to meeting a lot of you soon (that way you can associate a face with some of my foolish questions!! LOL)!
