Looks like you have come all the way down here to Florida to get mid 70's next week. How fast is your rig?

LOTO may work for you and Kentucky Lake is always nice for a run to Tenn for lunch

With the monsoon going on, you can almost launch in the streets and boat to downtown Chicago via the expressway! My buddy sent me a pic of his house as a classified ad this morning saying house with 200 ft of water frontage for sale. He is on a corner lot totally surrounded by flooded streets.

On a more serious note, Lake of the Ozarks is suppose to be in the upper 60's by weekend. 500 miles roughly from Chicago.

Ky Lake is up to summer pool already (359.63) and its supposed to be 67-75 this weekend. Could get reservations to rent a cabin at The Moors Resort or KY Dam Village. Both are marinas.
