I'll be at Buckskin Friday and Saturday.

Hey JW - Buckskin State Park is on the AZ side, just past Big Bend.
If you look at the arial shot in the "Favorite Pic of Parker" thread,
I'm pretty sure it is the campground on the AZ side.

Are you going to have the Southwind running?

Anyone else heading down there?
Where are you staying at?

My wife looked up the weather forecast, bring a jacket  :banghead:

southwind will not be running  :banghead:

i just looked it up and buckskin campground IS the inside corner across from big bend so i could probably throw rocks across from echo depending where your at. buckskin mountain state park is up the river a little (maybe 1/2 mile).

i just looked at weather and it said partly cloudy saturday and sunny sunday, highs of 97 and 95.

i will be in this guy cruisein or a red sanger tunnell with a merc weed wacker hangin on for dear life....

My bad about the weather. Mid 90's makes me feel better.

That sucks about the Southwind.

I'll be the blue 18' Tahiti, just cruisin safe and sane.

Yeah, we passed each other,  you were heading down river and I was goin up.
I saw a couple of blue on white cruisers, but recognized yours as you passed,
that's why I waved twice.

I wanted to go upriver from where we were staying since I hadn't run the boat since the same weekend last year.

But I did cruise down past Echo Lodge. Seems like a cool place. Do you always stay there?

yea i noticed the tahiti soon as i saw it. and yes there where a sh!t load of old cruisers out there this weekend!

 my boat is definitley still an "up river boat"  :D  until i get all the kinks worked out but i did go down river a few times. i've been going out to echo with my parents since i was a kid so we've always camped out on the beach there. nice place, great for kids, and club paradise is there with the pools, restruant, and bar  ;D. if were not there, we're staying at bluewater when they're practically giving thr rooms away.

i drove by buckskin a few times but didn't see the boat in the water? everything go good?
is it 2012 yet??

I put the boat in Fri morning and had to take it out because I had water in the gas.
I got that taken care of and put the boat back in on Sat. It ran pretty good except
it sounded like it had a miss every once in a while.
Then we headed home on Sun 5am :screwy:.

I stayed at the Bluewater once and liked it. Plus when you stay there you're always
downriver :D

blow it up
