All I can say is WOW. It was like...take all the normal poker run stuff and throw it out the window...just go out and have a great time on the water with a couple hundred of your newest and bestest friends. We've been to a couple of bigger runs...Smoke on the Water, Boyne Thunder, Lake Cumberland, Thousand Islands, Chicago (of course), Lake of the Ozarks...and this was EASILY the most laid-back, ridiculously fun experience we've had. We just kept saying...none of our boating group back home is going to believe any of this when we tell it!

Casey and Joey...thanks SO much for the hospitality! Everything was so convenient...even though we DID have the best docking guy in the entire run when it came to squeezing a 42 foot boat into a 35 foot space on both nights (Obnoxus is the MAN!)...it was so cool learning how you guys roll down in the bayou...TOTALLY different than what were used to up here in Yankee-land.

I'll try to get some pics up in the next couple days...got some great shots on the GoPro of LA Riverrat for sure!

What an awesome time...thanks again to you all from bad influence offshore! Let us know any time you might be in the Chitown area...y'all are welcome in my boat!
