Let's go for a ride on te Mississippi and Illinois rivers before before the boats are put to bed for the winter. So far we've got @sstegh, @jaybro72, @jcyamaharider, @sx210owner, @mattschepker, and @Daniel.

I was thinking of doing the same trip as the spring cruise, to the restaurant in Hardin, Ill. Any other suggestions? We need to pick a date too.
 
Yep, that is a nice relaxing trip. Some time in October 11, 18, or the 25 is all good.
 
Oct 11, 18 and the 25 is all good for us as well. Not looking foward to the end of boating season.
@RampRage do you think you'll be able to make it.
 
I opt for the 25th but don't let that hold all of you from a different day
 
Work is picking up in October I will let you know if I can make it
 
11th, 18th, and 25th all work for me too. How about we shoot for the 11th with the option of the 18th if weather becomes a factor.
 
I am in!!
 
I can't do the 11 :(
 
Yes, the 18th is still good for us.
 
Yep
 
Great! We're headed out to the Mississippi / Illinois now.
 
Full of a lot of crap and really cold, so I didn't get in. It was a nice cruise though. Since no one wanted to get in the water we went to dinner in Hardin. fyi, there is a hole in their dock that your entire leg can fit into if you don't see it... Now I'm on the couch icing my knee. Really swollen.
 
Holy Crap!!! Yeah we seen the hole last weekend and I almost did the same thing.
 
Ouch! Heal fast man!
 
This is coming up quick!!! If it is half way warm we are filling up to surf if anyone is interested....
