OK, got the boat's trailer prepared for our upcoming river trip to Charleston. *All four wheel bearings checked and re-packed, tires checked and at proper pressure, lights checked. *Was a good excuse to breal out the air impact as well. *:-)

I'm still working on preparing mine. I had some setbacks this spring

and it's still giving me time to prepare my 23' Marquis. I want it to

be comfortable and ready to go hit the river next year. A friend of

mine gave me a Garmin Marine GPS, because he was updating his so he

gave me his old one.



We're planning on dropping in the Ohio river, either at Elizebethtown

or Cave In Rock, follow the Ohio and go up the Cumberland river to

Lake Barkley, through Ky Lake and probably end up in Nashville Tenn. I

realize there's always something that can go awry, but I want the boat

outfitted and as sure as I can make it.



Haven't gone boating this year because the midwest is under a drought

and the lakes and rivers are extremely low. Too low for my comfort.



So, I have time to plan for next year. That is *IF* we get some water

to float on. LOL!

That souds like a fun trip! I know about the drought, I was in Chicago last week, and it was really dry. My buddy in Nashville told me that they are having a really hard time. He said almost 30% of the tree are dying.

Hope you guys get some rain soon.
