    Hammond was mentioned numerous times this weekend...? Who's planning on being there?

    I'd say we are in...but it's looking like our weather luck is running out...

    Lisa & I are in for Hammond Sat overnight. Now weather says Sat NW winds 13 mph 71 high and Sun SW winds 6 mph 76 high. Rain Mon AM but hot. We're kidless Sat & Sun so lookin to stay at Hammond
    sat since don't get that chance much. Plus I'll be hauling around a bunch of women Sunday lookin for a good time still.
    The Basin at 55 & bluff rd has a shallow murkey small harbor no room for a group. The bar is OK and has bands though. In that pool though there's supposedly a scavenger hunt then a party at lillypads on the Kankakee. And this pool is east of locks of the Morris pool. River not much fun for big boats like ours though.
