Where has everyone in St. Louis been riding lately?

I hear the upper mississippi is awful. High, fast and a whole lot of logs.

I went down to Table Rock Memorial Day but haven't been out since.

I need someplace close to take a day trip.

If you are looking for a good day trip come down to Carbondale IL. Its about 2 to 3 hours south east of STL and there are some NICE lakes here! If you want to know more contact me.

I ride on Crab Orchard Lake. From my house I can be on the water in 15min. You have to pay for your boat and truck to use it because it is a National Wildlife Refuge but that is only $30yr for both. Most all of the college students head to a different lake to party and with the price of gas, the lake has been dead this year. Not that it's ever busy.
