Got you down. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about accommodations at Starved Rock. Can someone else help out by providing this information? It seems to me I remember someone staying over the night before last year.
Call up the lodge but availability is pretty scarce. May get lucky. Driving or i would find a link. The lodge is usually booked solid. Might get a cabin otherwise.
Well, just looked at the website and sounds like they're all booked up. Any other recommendations for lodging nearby, before I ask the Google?
There are a couple places just north of the river in that Utica town, but I have no experience in using them. I have only ever brought the camper to Starved rock.
Well, camping is an option. Not sure I'd want to pull the boat separately, though. I guess if I begged, someone might be able to help me launch and retrieve with their truck if I tow with the motorhome? I'll talk to the boss and do a little computer work to see what's nearby.
Never seen anyone get in the water on this trip even to pee. Wouldn't recommend it anyways!
Weird, I just happened to notice a little (and I do mean little, I almost missed it) icon and clicked on it and it brought me to this thread. I really do appreciate the invite. I would love to attend, unfortunately, we are booked with kid activities that weekend.
, due to a scheduling conflict, my family will not be attending this years run. Sorry we won't make it but I hope everyone enjoys themselves as we have for the past couple years!
Too Bad. We will miss you.Hello Everyone! Unfortunately
There are hotels in Ottawa which is close by. I looked into staying in a room down there and making it a family gathering, but my scheduling issues came up.
