I'd like to make it over to Lee's mills one of these years. Funny how so many meets are happening on those same dates. Upper Mississippi meet at Eagle River Wi. Sep 14 and 15, Steam Automobile Club (SACA) in Berrien Springs, Mi Sep 14th and 15th And Lees Mills, same dates. Some of us steamboaters in Michigan here are talking about a meet sometime in June.

Wow, I guess a Pilot at the Helm is required here, as the power plant would distract the Engineer!
