Labor Day

[BADFISH II]

Let's all get together again. Who want's to go where? I'm kind of partial to Powell, but thinking of Havasu possibly also.

[STV_Keith]

Haven't made any plans yet, but it looks like a pretty good crew (mainly of OP6'ers) are going to Parker. That's a cool party place. I may just do that.

[kevnmcd]

I will be at Park Moabi just below Needles most likely.

[kc0000]

I'm booked in Havasu.... bringing only one gal this time!

Arriving Friday morning, launching from Windsor, playing all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, heading home on Monday morning.

Lets get together!

KC

[FIREMAN]

Gotta do havasu, since I missed the big day on the 3rd

I will also be at Park Moabi on Labor day. This time with the wife and kids. Would love to hook up with everyone somewhere around Havasu. Let me know.
Kurt

[RiverLife]

You know where I'll be!

Sincerely,

Mr. Cottonwood http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[THOR]

Where is Park Moabi exactly? How would one humble man from Huntington Beach get there?

Then again, I say a trailer on RL's street for sale this past weekend. VERY INTERESTING. Let's see... New boat? Procharge mine? Trailer? Man, I hate making decisions.

The streeet actual says 'Riverlife". He is like a rock star in Cottonwood. You guys should have been there.

[BADFISH II]

RL is a rock star everywhere http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The cool thing about Moabi, is you can put in there and go all the way to sand bar and Havasu, and it's closer for you Thor, as well as us. It's right past needle's on the 40.

Thor-Park Moabi is a camping area on the river (Calif. side) approx. 10 miles down river from Needles just up river from Topock where the 40 crosses the river. The peninsula sites (which is where we usually stay) are the campsites right on the river and are very popular....I usually book them in a year in advance. If you are into wakeboarding/skiing, like I am, IMHO there is no better place than the stretch between Needles and Park Moabi! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[BADFISH II]

[kevnmcd]

Greg-Where do you usually stay in Havasu? Would love to hook up with you guys.

Which gal? http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[BADFISH II]

when we go to Havasu, we usually stay at the Island Inn because they allow dogs. it's ok, nothing spectacular. We used to just camp at Crazyhorse all of the time, but that crowd there got pretty rough last few times we did that, with drunk dumbass's taking baseball bats to beer bottles, throwing large rocks at cars, fighting, etc. that and Ms. LM1 is burnt out on camping now. We may just camp at Moabi though if there's anything available.

[digginfordollars]

Won't the sand bar be closed on Labor Day? We stay at Nautical Estates whenin Havasu. They are two bedroom condos that sleep up to eight comfortbly, more uncomfortably. When we went two weeks ago it was $160 a night plus $25 cleaning fee. Not very much if you have two or three couples together. They have two bathrooms, plenty of boat parking(although tight), and a garage. They are on the island just past the marina.

Now THAT sounds cool. If I don't go to Parker, I'd be up for sharing one of those. Any idea what availability is like on Labor Day weekend, 3 weeks in advance?

[digginfordollars]

Call McCullough Realty. Sorry, I don't have their number but I can get it when Mrs D4$ gets home. Make sure you ask for Nautical Eststes, not Nautical Inn.

[STV_Keith]

With the sandbar being closed, I think I'll be going to Parker.

[BADFISH II]

yeah, I may just go the other direction, undecided

[digginfordollars]

We'll probably just go to Mead. Maybe camp up at big sandy. It's far enough up the lake not to many people make it up there.

[dave]

I think you guys know where I'll be.

Nautical Estates (http://www.havasuvacationrentals.com) Jeanete Clayton is the person to talk with. Typically on the holiday weekends you're looking at a 3 night minimum and somehwere around $250, most likely more, per night.

I know a guy that owns one of the condos in the Nautical Estates and he gets $325 per night on the big holiday weekends with a 3 night minimum. It is rented EVERY holiday weekend.

We stayed there numerous times and I would recommend it to anyone.

[RiverLife]

Thor, I think you should very highly consider that place at Cottonwood, I'd let you move in (since I own the whole place you know http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif ) If you got a procharger on your boat then you'd be a lot faster than me and we can't have that!! Then I'd have to go get one, and I can't right now.

[THOR]

these are the chicks that KC will be bringing.

Will the General Lee tow the Eliminator KC?

http://whitetrashworld.com/images/Dixiemullets.jpg

[BADFISH II]

Nice! Hotties, should I put them up in the gallery?

[kc0000]

thor...
unfortunatly my dsl is blocked from that site, so I can not view the tasty babes... almost anything can pull the eliminator give a good down hill grade!

kc http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[BADFISH II]

you can't see these??? Not quite tasty http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[kc0000]

so what is goig on here... is thor slamming me for the gal that I brought to Owl Cove... actually I only brought one since there was a cat fight and the other went home!

whats the deal thor?

KC http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif

[THOR]

Not even,
I thought you guys were Hubby and wife, seriously. You looked like you were getting along fine when you were in the marina and in the 'tie up'.

What the hell happened?

I just posted that pic because you said you were going to bring some other chicks to the river. I just wanted to give you a suggestion. You may need the 500HP to pull those two around though. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Seriouisly,
Dig your boat. Very clean. Your hunny was hot too.

[kc0000]

thor...

there was a cat fight, over what i do not know, i dropped them off on friday night to check in while i parked the ride and the rig. by the time i got up to the room one was going for a walk and the other was going home home. so, i went to dinner and had a fine glass of wine and a martini!

i knew you were just trying to grab my prop...

KC http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[BADFISH II]

grab my prop http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif funny, I'll have to use that one with the Ms http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[RiverLife]

kc, the BMW seemed to pull the Elim. just fine. Talk about cruising in comfort!

[kc0000]

the bmw is not the ultimate towing machine, wheel base is kind of short - but, it is paid for, hauls five adults and tows in comfort at any speed, the elim settles in comfortably behind the x5 at about 105, and I get 20+ mpg when not towing. not bad for a V8.

RD

[BADFISH II]

So who's coming out to Mead? Just wondering. Thor? You guys + Abbey can stay with us if you like.

[duckbutter]

What ever happened to powell. It will be lonely without you guys(and slow http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif )

[25nordic]

hi guys , we are new to this board but at the lake all the time. i think we are going to havasu if not mead for sure .we found the killer cove out by echo this weekend.

[BADFISH II]

)Hey 25 Nordic, WELCOME!

So where's this cove? I think I may know which one. We went there last year, is it just a few minutes south of Echo? Check out the gallery, I have pics of it in there and let me know if it's the same one, because if not I definitely would like to know where http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

so anyway, welcome to Las Vegas Hot Boats. Glad you checked in with us and hope to see you around the site more often. We're at Mead almost every weekend, and there's always something going on under the "Lake Trips and Events" section of the forum.

Keep in touch and let us know if you'll be out at Mead on Labor Day (I think we're just going to hang here because like Thor says BIGGER LAKE=LESS CROWDED http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[digginfordollars]

Think Big Sandy!

[BADFISH II]

You gonna be at Mead D4$? If so, are you camping? What days? Where? LVHB Beach?

[25nordic]

i'm not sure if it is the same cove or not, but it does have cliffs like the pics. only problem is there is,nt much room for tents ,but great for the day lots of cliffs and blocked by the wind. it is about two miles out of echo going into overton arm. you would'nt believe how blue the water is.i'll get some pics of the boat on soon

[25nordic]

where is this lvhb beach

[BADFISH II]

launching from Callville, LV Bay, or Hemmenway (anywhere in LV Basin) go out through the narrows. Once you get out of the narrows it opens up to the Virgin Basin. Go past the point to the left leading to the Overton arm. Go like you're headed to Echo, then make a hard left after a couple of minutes to a wide open beach area.

Key - there are two cove/beach areas after you pass the point where you go into the overton arm, it's the second one.

LVHB BEACH!, It get's hoppin' around noon or so and is a great place to camp.

[25nordic]

been to that beach a few times but not this year yet. cool spot alot of nice boats

[OutCole'd]

I will be going out to Mead at least for Sunday, Maybe Monday also, but no camping for my candy a$$. Some of us poor slobs have to work for a living, so I will be doing the deal on Saturday. Who all plans on going to Mead Sunday?

[digginfordollars]

I was thinking of going up to big sandy Labor Day weekend and camping. It's a long ride so its nice to camp out up there plus there aren't as many idiots running around, i.e. tourist with a rental. The beaches are nice and sandy for all you tent pitchers.

[BADFISH II]

we may do the camping thing on Sat, and then hang out for Sunday. Not sure yet. At the least, we'll be going out on Sat.

[VegasBD]

Well if i see anyonethis weekend ill swing by and say whats up, i will likely be at wishing well and sandi.

[OutCole'd]

Is this HB beach flat enough for a shade? or should I leave it at home? I will plan on launching by 10:00 Sunday from Hemmingway, and head out to find the beach. Is any one planning on being there?

Bill

[BADFISH II]

yeah, for sure, it's got plenty of room for shade. We'll by out around 12 on Sunday, to HB Beach. See ya there Bill!

[OutCole'd]

Is anyone going to have a radio on? In case I cant find the beach, what channel do have the radio's on?

Right around 11:oo everyone open a fresh beer, and I will follow the scent, it never fails. And when we pull up, all the women flash their tit's, so I will know we are at the right place.

Bill

[digginfordollars]

Are ya coming out Sat? we will be there Sat and Sunday but will head in early Sunday. Radio channel 9-0

[OutCole'd]

I work Saturday, so we are going out Sunday, I plan on going to HB beach by 11:00-12:00, Hope to see you out there.

[digginfordollars]

We should be there. I'll put the radio on but I doubt I'll be able to talk Mrs. D4$ to flash ya at that time in the day. I'll try though!

[BADFISH II]

Ms. LM1 says no flashing, but she'll crack a beer or 4 for ya before ya get there http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

We'll be launching from LV Bay both days around 10 or so, and heading to HB Beach. See ya there!

[OutCole'd]

Allright, how was it today? It was looking pretty ugly around the valley all day, so how was the lake? Was it windy? How were the launch ramps, busy? Wow, I ask a lot of questions.

Bill

P.S. If I can't find you guys on Sunday, I will blame the ladies for not doing the flashing thing.

[BADFISH II]

Hey Bill, it was beautiful, a little overcast, but we hooked up with D4$ and had a great time! Looking forward to meeting up with you tomorrow!

It's pretty simple to find the beach, just go out through the narrows, pass the farthest point on your left you you're heading up the Overton Arm, and it's not the first big cove, but just past that. It's a pretty long sandy stretch of beach, and by 12 or so it's pretty hoppin'

See ya tomorrow!

[OutCole'd]

Greg, What time do you think you will get there on Sunday? Did D4$ spend the night there? Does he have a name, or should I just call him D4$? Was anyone else there? There I go again asking too many questions, I will try to work on that.

Bill

[BADFISH II]

his name is kurt, and wife is cheryl. We'll be out to LVHB Beach by 12 or so.

[VegasBD]

I was at sandy from like 1 till 6 on saturday and didnt see any of you guys. I was a little bummed, gonna actually stop bya nd say hi and have a beer or two with all of ya. No answer on 9-0 either. oh well Maybe next time....

[BADFISH II]

sorry we missed ya VBD, we were running behind so we went straight to HBBeach

[VegasBD]

Dont apalogize, well meet up eventually. I always keep and ear out on the radio, you guys still use 9-0 right?
