This one doesn't, but the one on Aug 18 does. Starts and ends in Henry. This one is fairly local. Stops near East Port, Paradice Beach, Riverfront, Captain Rons, Detweiller, and Ivy Club from what I was told. This isn't a run to let your boat stretch 'er legs, lol.

Good catch. Wasn't paying attention to the boat in his sig line. Yes, any long trailer will high center at the East Port ramp. I always use Detwiller if I put in North of the Peoria lock. If I want to be South of the lock I always launch in Havana at the park.

Here is a pic of one of my favorite spots to chill out on the river after a hard day of running.

I haven't seen a flier for this year yet, but I do know that it's August 18. I will try to scare up some more info.

Here's the thread from last year's run

Morton has a few truck-stops, but none that are really conducive to a rig your size. Goodfield may be a good place to stop on 74 between bloomington and East Peoria.

There is also a Shell station right at the turn off of state highway 116 where you turn by Jonahs/East Port, though it can be kind of a pain maneuvering a big boat around there, it's defintiely do-able.

Is that just upriver from the lock by Pekin?
