    2017 Starved Rock to Peoria Run, Sunday Oct 8

    The Burger Barge was brought up as a place to stop. Their dock area is small and shallow water,especially in 2017. East Peoria has a lot to offer on the river but they have no docks. I have sent the City an email asking why no docks and received no reply.

    Drain plug led Diablo Royal ??

    I have the typhoon style. My boat took on water before and after. It has been dry with the light in. I got some clear thread grease before installing it. The most my boat is in the water is three days at a time. I would buy it again

    Drain plug led Diablo Royal ??

    I have the single light it works well in clear water. Not so much as when I am traveling but when I am at the dock or rafted up. For the money it is worth buying.

    2017 Starved Rock to Peoria Run, Sunday Oct 8

    Burger barge is a great place but very limited on docks. The river is low this year and depth finder reads 0 when I am there. Kuchies added docks this year. A big improvement for them. About 3 miles from the normal stop in Peoria. Water traffic will be low so we can raft some boats together...
