Hammond will work for me I was just thinking that if I put in there I would not get as much running time, but it sounds like you are going to run to Diversity and then back so that would be fun to us.
What time are you looking to leave Hammond? That way I will know what time I need to be in the water and ready to go.
Int 55 is how I will be coming I have to pick someone up in Bloomington. Int 55 to Int 80 then east.
Thanks for the info. Again if it gets canceled please call me even that morning (Rich) 309-275-3436.
Looking forward to this:D :D

Candyman,
I'll most likely launch at Alsip. Hopefully I can hook up with MR. CIG for the ride up th Cal Sag.

Hey MR CIG, what time do you suppose you will be leaving your dock?

DS

SmilinBob,

We'll be at Northpoint launching around 10:00 as well.

Todd

Zanie,
We will probably leave aroung 9:30 or so.
Just in case we get stuck by a barge at the locks.

That will give us enough time to pick up the other boats at Hammond.

Mark

PWRQWST,
I am launching out of Alsip and running the river to Hammond. I hope to leave Hammond by 10:30. Last time our group was late! I don't want to let that happen again. I’ll give you a call on directions. If you guys don't mind running the river you could meet us at the Alsip boat launch. Otherwise there are other boats form Indiana meeting us at Hammond also. I will call you with directions to Hammond. There is a back roads way to get there that will save you time and traffic hassles.

MR.CIG,
How about leaving a little earlier? Maybe 9:00?? Let me know. It will give us some time extra time at Diversey to checkout the boats.;)

Zanie,
What do you think about meeting at 9:00?

Dan

Jack forgot to mention that there will be a charge like last time for the helicopter. It depends on how many boats do the run as the actual cost. The last run was $30.00.

Candyman,
Sounds good. You want me at the ramp at 9 or launched by 9? Either way is OK.
One of my buddies is off work today and is running around town looking for brushes for the trim pump.
I hope he comes up with something.
DS

Sounds okay to me.

Mark

The weather does not look good, everyone still planning to attend?

Well, my buddy screwed me!
All I have is tomorrow to hopefully get it fixed.
Hopefully I see you guys Sat morning
