I plan on going regardless how low it is. Without sounding sappy, boating on the water is just a perk on these trips to me. I love just hanging out, shooting the shit, and tossing beers back with everyone.

I know a few of you live in the area and I know Gil is out there this weekend as well. I will try to get reports of water levels over the next few days. I really hope this doesn't discourage people from going.

This was in the Mohave daily news today.

Local river level drops

Published: Friday, October 5, 2012 1:26 AM MDT
BOULDER CITY, Nev. — Beginning today and continuing through the month, Colorado River water releases from Davis Dam north of Bullhead City will be uncharacteristically low due to reduced water demands downstream. The Bureau of Reclamation is also reducing releases from Hoover Dam, creating flow conditions that are lower than usual for this time of year.

The reduced water releases will result in lower than normal river water levels throughout the Laughlin/Bullhead City area. While Colorado River levels in the area normally fluctuate, this reduction from Davis Dam will result in peak flows dropping from about a four-unit flow or 19,000 cubic feet per second, to no higher than a two-unit flow, or 9,200 cfs. A one-unit change in flow is equivalent to approximately two feet in the river’s depth below Davis Dam.

Boaters below Hoover and Davis dams should exercise extra caution during this period of reduced river flows as sandbars, boulders and gravel will be exposed, creating more hazardous river conditions.

The temporary reduction in water releases is necessary because of a break in the Central Arizona Project canal near Bouse, Ariz., approximately 50 miles southeast of Lake Havasu City. While this part of the canal is out of service, Colorado River water deliveries are being temporarily halted. Daily and hourly information on releases from the Bureau of Reclamation’s Colorado River dams is available on Reclamation’s web site at www.usbr.gov/lc/riverops.html.

just a thought but any way to camp at mead sandy cove bbq together and get to boat ive been working nonstop to get minw wet with u guys

From what I have gathered talking to a few people and the response from a few on this thread....this event will still carry on. Rain or Shine.....or in this case: Water or no water.

Lets make the best of it. 

I will still be going, absolute worst case scenario if I need to boat I will tow to Havasu.

Here's a pic that was taken 5 mins ago. This is about 20 mins down river from the Avi.

Oh that's not that bad. Just have to pay more attention

Too bad we don't have a trip on havasu. Its not too far from Windsor to the river and there is the big sandbar. Water levels are never an issue there.

Plus I didn't spend the whole week doing a ford swap on my buddies spectra not to run it

I DID hear boats out last night. I'm on the river if anyone needs a place, tools Etc.

Hey Brad, Hallett Dave had the same idea as Just Electric and was thinking launching at Moabi
with the reasoning of deeper water down there,then back to the Avi for evening entertainment aka party. 
The BBQ at the beach sounds awesome. 
I know we're in either way and so is Dave & Erica, I hope nobody cancels as they will miss a good time ! Gotta represent SCJB. 

Brad, Dave wants you to give him a call at home, he's there today if you get a chance.
