You asked about LOTO, and it is great. We live in St.L and LOTO is where we have a condo and do our boating. But, if you are moving to St. Louis, there are many house boats on the Mississippi river just north of the city (Alton on North), and it is a lot closer than LOTO.

No problems with the water bein down this year. It was way too easy to find sand bars all over pool 26. i know I found two that I wasn't expecting this year.

Default Now that the cat's out of the bag, lol

Good resource for info about the river near St. Louis, especially Alton/Grafton area, is WWW.RiverBills.com. Throw that Nordic in and do a little socializing before you committ to a big expense at LOTO. Don't take me wrong tho, LOTO rocks. Wish I could make it down more often. It's just that you might find what you're looking for right in your own backyard.
We boat on the Illinois near Peoria.
