The dock on the other side of the river in your picture is now gone. Both on the Pekin side are over the poles that they float on and might not last long.

Crazy that in a matter of 3 months we went from historic low river levels, to historic floods.

Wow!
Still dealing with terrible drought here. Not sure that we'll be going to our usual Perry Lake this year. Going to have to driver further to get wet.

I now exactly what ya mean, Jim. We got high water here in Pool 13 of the Mississippi, but nothing like you do! Good luck with everything! You can always tow her down to the Lake of the Ozarks! I know of a condo and slip you can rent!

Same here in quad cities (moline,il) a lot of roads closed and interstate ramps under water
Re: Won't Be On the Illinois For Awhile
Got a little to go there Jim. We are still out of the banks here in Morris. We bested the record by just about a foot. Stratton Park is our public launch and it was completely under.
