Greg,
Well as of this evening there could be a change in plans. My wife has to travel to another state now sooner so the starting point in St Louis isn't going to happen, and we will be starting in Texas I beleive, so I don't see Mapleleafs and gravy on my fries in the near future!

Right now its a bit up in the air yet still, should know more tomorrow.
Thanks for the offer and we might have to take you guys up on that some time. I would like to see the areas by water, espically the water ways and locks. One really gets tired of going around in circles in our lake. The only way right now to get out is to wait for a bunch of rain and run over the spillway to get to the river!

Just like these idiots did, I guess they didn't expect the lack of lake in front of them ment that something might be wrong!

Thanks for the ideas as well. I hate planning vacations last min, then to have them change yet again.
On a side note I did spend about 3 months at the GM plant in Oshawa during the winter doing industrial control projects. I didn't get out much the 80 hour work weeks weren't fun at all. I even still have my Ontario Hydro approved work boots with the green seal so I could get into the plant and work.
