UPDATED: LOCAL DNR says to just stay on the water!

Feeling satisfied that the CG is furloughed and not about to run us down, we left for Guttenberg today with Vernon and his craft also.  We all ate at Joe's Pizza Place and the best ice cream afterwards and slowly walked the river walk back to the boat landing.  It is not a short jaunt but well worth going.  Here are pics of our day on the Mississippi (below Guttenberg dam).


 And being a Weber, undauntedly explores the back areas!

 I think it's time for a color cruise on the Wisconsin!
 We weren't alone on the river either; fishermen.
 
 
 
 
A great deal of new area closed to water fowl hunting. 
If you are interested in getting a cruise together on the Wis. or Miss., let's do a color cruise!!

MISSISSIPPI RIVER SHUT DOWN!

Today launches our new blog for our hovercrafters. It will eventually contain everything applicable to current hover crafting by StarCruiser owners. The former website of STARCRUISER HOVERCRAFTS will shut down in a while only due to our host deciding to go out of business. At the moment this is our best option, altho I may consider space on our ISP and start a new website! For now, this will be fine!

Hmmmmm............we drove to Linn Hollow to launch our hovercraft only to find the river closed to us  and all boaters.  Upon reading this, I doubted it meant the whole river, so I went to the LaCrosse CG page and there is mention that the locks are all open to recreational boat craft.  Well now we have the basic question of:  Channel vs Backwater Wildllife Refuge Areas.  Emails and Phone calls to the local DNR have not proved a response yet.

Will keep you posted. Meanwhile, would love you to leave any comments!  And if interested, please check out my OTHER blog at http://scrappingheaven.blogspot.com
