Happy New Year!
To ring in 2025 I’ve agreed to go on a river trip, taking the boat above from Chicago to Nashville with the owner. We’re leaving this weekend.
Why now? There is a lock closure starting next week, and the Illinois Waterway will be closed to through traffic for a couple of months. The owner is keen to go south by water rather than trucking the boat.
I think it’s doable but cold. Having second thoughts just writing this post, but the prep list and plan seems OK. Dean the owner does cold weather motorcycling and has a heated suit.
More to come…
Watch out for those St Louis logs!
