Hollywood / quinner :
Unfortunately that is not me in the picture with the Sears Tower in the background, nor was I in the boat at the time. However it was a couple of friends of mine who were participating in a charity event that involved skiing from Chicago to Peoria (day 1) and Peoria to St. Louis (day 2). Picture was probably taken the 1st year of the event, back in '97. The event is now in it's 10th year (last weekend) but the format has changed and we no longer do the Chicago to Peoria portion for logistics reasons. I never got to do the Chicago leg of the trip. No special permits were required. |

I missed this thread but yes I loved that river Rob, water quality was the same if not better than my home river. Much narrower too so I think you could find water just about any time. Granted it was cold that morning but I think we may have seen 5 boats on the entire river. Let em all go to the lakes, that place is a gold mine. I do miss boating in nice clear water though but we have no choice if we want to stay local. |
