I used to go cruising every night... back when gas was only $0.89 a gallon... then the town got rid of it with their parking standards (which didn't work), then outlawing it (which didn't work), then limiting the lanes (which didn't work)... at this point, they have a 'classic car cruise' on weekends during warm weather and that seems to have done it... organized cruising is okay... cruising on your own.. not. Go figure. *sigh*

You also have to remember to actually get on the cruise. Here's one from my cruise on the Wisconsin River last Fall - that's my car up on the right side as the cruise ship is leaving the dock, while I'm still taking photos.http://bridgehunter.com/uploads/forum/1202230012-wi_columbia_bh36174/P1202230012-1-X.jpg
