Ottawa, Illinois

We traveled 39.7 NM  down the Des Plains River then the Illinois River.  We locked down 80' through 3 locks.  We left Joliet at 6:50 a.m. and did not arrive Ottawa until 5:15 p.m.  Although, we called ahead to the bridge and locks to come, we had to wait many hours at both for the barges to go through.  The scenery changed from industrial to beautiful woods along the shore.  Some of the foliage is beginning to turn to autumn colors!  The people along the Illinois River really love their jet skies.  The river sounded like huge swarms of bees from all the jet skies rushing to jump our wake.   We are docked at Heritage Harbor Marina, Ottawa, Illinois. For dinner this evening, after a long day, the marina restaurant delivered our dinner to our boat!


Ready to head south.





Just a tad bit of erosion.





A touch of autumn!




More hints of autumn.




Going down.


Our new friends, Ryan and Patrick, aboard Lady M.



Thank you Ryan for these great photos of our vessel!

  1. If you don't remember this, your car may be stolen!

    Imagine that your vehicle was taken! When you visit the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN search"

    A VIN decoder is what?

    Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent" (manufacturing facility). You can also figure out:

    1.Type of engine

    2.Model of a vehicle

    3.The DMV and the limitations it imposes

    4.The number of drivers in this vehicle

    You'll be able to locate the car, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be examined in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person's seat on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.

    What happens if the VIN is intentionally harmed?

    There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or calling the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in jail. You might be stopped by an instructor on the road.

    Conclusion.

    The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
