[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2751377, member: 24583"] Used to do it couple times a year. 3.5 ft on stream gauge was max and I was experienced. Like a pilot, get-there-itus can be a bad thing. Watch the levels. Stay safe. First time camping is one thing. First time down the river is another thing. Add the two, and you do not want to get into an overload situation. If you are going to do your first "camp out" for the weekend, I suggest you set your gear up in the back yard for a test run. You can learn a lot as you run into the house to get things you forgot to pack. Camping is a really fun thing to do. The Illinois River is a really fun thing to do. Myself, experienced at both, I would not combine both of them for a first trip. You can drive from Tulsa, go down the river and drive back to Tulsa to spend the night easier. Many other places to spend the night along the way also. No need to flog yourself into the buzzsaw the first trip. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
