Visiting the Mutiny, Southern Star (we have been to it by land), and Steitz's on Thursday, put us at 32 bars on the chain that we have visited since July 16th.
OUR GOAL: visit every bar/restaurant on the Chain.
We believe there only to be four left: Kevan's at the end of the channel we keep our boat in, Grasslake Landing off Grasslake (can't go there when Frank is with us because he really hates them from continuously raising the rent every year when he had his trailer there).
Downriver in McHenry, there is Vickie's and the Fox Hole.
Hope to get to these places next week as the summer is fast coming to an end.
SAD, THOUGH
Had we been doing this ten years ago, there would be considerably more than 36 places. I'd estimate about 80 then and back in the 70s around 100.
The owner of Oak Park said that when he opened on Pistakee in 1975 there were 16 places, today four.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
