Title: Lake Ming construction update....
Post by: Luckie Stiff on March 25, 2009, 01:49:10 PM
Went out to Ming today to see what it looks like. As you can see in the photos, it's not quite done, probably the better part of 2 months left to completion. I spoke with the framers doing the new bathrooms and looked at his plans. Next week or so they will build coffer dams across the small channels that lead from the boat ramp out to the main lake, pump out the water, dredge and re-grade it, change the boat ramps and install a new dock on either side of the ramp. Framer told me the County got more money than they had planned on so they're doing phase 2 of this project concurrent with phase 1. Hopefully it'll be done in time for NJBA and APBA races in May.
This is the ramp area @ the East end of the lake. (https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi8.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa36%2Fluckiestiff%2FBoat%2520Stuff%2Fming4.jpg&hash=ad8e46dfeb6587f5ecf385a5f5202bcebd87292e)

I went out to Lake Ming today, here's the pics. Y'all better find another venue to use until August, or keep scratching races.
This one was by the restrooms but there's one at the top of the hill too (https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi8.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa36%2Fluckiestiff%2FBoat%2520Stuff%2FMingClosedSign421.jpg&hash=9ed3ab972e6ae562ae31599f02486371395cf8c8)
Here's the East ramp area (https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi8.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa36%2Fluckiestiff%2FBoat%2520Stuff%2FMingEastRamp421.jpg&hash=d7b024992c877aecfd0772597a37da62f7743fb2)
And the West ramp area (https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi8.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa36%2Fluckiestiff%2FBoat%2520Stuff%2FMingWestRamp421.jpg&hash=83dcaceedbd088194816e53aa6b6c8d40d17fc9b)
Good luck to the folks who have events scheduled @ Ming this summer, maybe a visit to lower Castaic is in order?

IDK but I hope it opens soon. Can't wait to be able to go to the lake and not have to worry about some d!ck head ex-popo telling me I am going to fast or that I can't run my jet-o because it is spraying people.
