Where do you anticipate doing the actual boating, going up to the lake or boating on the river? I'm thinking the water will be a bit nippy. I don't mind nippy on the girls but not too keen on it myself.

Well thanks for clearing that up, you have been most helpful.

For the record, this is annual trip. originally was started by Slowride and 78southwind back in October of 2008. That year it was ass cold and windy and the water level was super low.....and FREEZING. Those who sacked up and still went had a blast. The annual trips after were much warmer. That fall was a freak year. It snowed 8-10 inches in vegas that december

Heres some pics from that 2008 trip. Notice everyone in sweatshirts haha.

We all hid from the wind behind the bushes at Glass beach to keep warm.

to answer your question, we will be launching from Big bend.....hanging out on the river.

Thanks Brad, that was more like what I was looking for. It looks like several people at the dinner table were plenty warm (Omar)

It does look like people had a good time despite the weather. I'll start thinking sunny thoughts for y'all.

No worries we'll send skip back to the hotel first to flush out all the coppers.

Gc quit trying to be a Debbie downer this trip and March are the best actual boating trips we have. Oct. Is gorgeous on the river ya the sweatshirts may come out as were pulling the boats out of the water but its always been bitchin for us.

A) All I did is ask about conditions. I have only boated in Laughlin once and things went badly right at the ramp. Don't remember much else about it.
B) For a place that has a reputation for cold water already, I was just wonderin'. I like to be IN the water, like on a ski, A LOT. I tend not to just sit in my boat keeping my black socks high and dry all weekend.
C) NO ONE has tried harder, spent more money, and had more set backs in getting on the water than me this year.

Geezus, tough crowd.

Sorry for the find question in advance but I've never been to the river yet nor a gathering. So my question is do you guys just hang out n float all day or do you go on runs every now and then?

farmergord · « **Reply #67 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:14:10 AM »

whatever you want to do

Everyone finds a cove or sandbar to hang out and BS. Many will stay parked all day but several will go and run 'em. Usually later in the day we'll a run up river and float down together.

You're not required to do anything listed, but if you're seen on the river and don't stop and check in it could get ugly

Hello everyone

I just joined this site and can't wait to meet some of you in Laughlin in a few weeks. I finally got the motor and jet done in my Hondo about a month ago and can't wait to take it up and down the Colorado river.

Hope to meet those of you that are going.

See ya

simidan · « **Reply #71 on:** September 25, 2011, 01:23:03 PM »

This will be the last unofficial SCJB event for the year but the Tom Papp memorial at Lake Elsinore will have a huge turn out in January.

Hey Skip, I'm gonna have to pay you to tow some gas cans on a tube or something.
Is there fuel available anywhere near Lazy Harrys ? I guess there is gas at the Avi, does anyone know
how late their pumps are open ? I've never been to Laughlin, so this sounds good, I hope the parking lot is as good
as the Avi's, that was awesome last October.

Danny & Sheree'

thier parking lot is awsome! rooms are ok. they dont have much inside to eat at, ok buffet sucky dennys, the casino next door has a joes crab shack and 24hr caffee accesable by the river walk.
when you get to river palms, go past the main entrance(stay on main street) you will pass a parking structure on the left you will start to go up a grade there will be a left turn that is a road to the top of that structure.
