I live 50 miles west of St. Louis on hwy 70. It's beautiful here. I've got the boat hooked up and sittin out in the yard with no cover on or anything ready to go. Looks like its gonna rain all day in Southern IL. and stay nice around St. Louis where we will be boating.

We had a great time as usual on the river. Got on the river about noon on sat and got home sunday night about 9pm. Beautiful weather ALL weekend, not a drop of rain and 85 degrees. And we did some photo shooting against the bluffs, hoping to get a Boat of the Month out of it!

Since I didn't make it, I only see this as appropriate.....

I've never tried for boat of the month, so you guys pick the best picture and sign me up. Thanks, Charlie....I have more pictures, but it wont let me put anymore on????Maybe they are too big?

Did you overnight on the boat? Sorry we didn't make it out, but seems like everyone had to cancel. Look forward to the pics.

Yea, we stayed on the boat. I just put some pictures up, they're at the end of page 7. Trying to get the rest of them on here but having problems.

We had a great time taking the pictures! Had a few more...but they wouldn't have been appropriate...

This one might be my favorite.
Post #70 third pic or post 73 2nd pic are my favorites. Great camera work and you're right the bluffs are an excellent spot for BOTM pics!!! I can certainly submit your pics for BOTM, but have a hard time believing anyone will beat the LC rally pic for obvious reasons. I think you submit for next month...and I think you'd surely win!!

Hi this is Charlies wife Chanda 
I feel the need to tell the story behind these pics and then ask a favor.... first of all I missed meeting all you checkmaters' okay so we were at Grafton waiting around for you all but it got to be around 2ish so we decided to take ride down river to the bluffs and float for a bit and then head back up to see if anyone had shown. So we get to the bluffs and they are gorgeous and we get the idea to do a photoshoot and the idea was to give Charlie some updated pics to put on his bulletin board at work by his toolbox so we got to shooting and had so much fun and I was workin' it and then we got done with me and Charlie decided to be silly and he wanted a chance to work it too so long story short I have something to say about it...just my own opinion it was fun and of course I think he's hot no matter what but my favor is, what I would really like to see on here is all "your" girls workin' it on your boats you know so I don't feel so lonely!
