Ok, lets do a BBQ. Friday or Saturday night?

I've got at least one Weber...possibly 2. Gotta check the storage. my dad picks these things up by the dumpsters at the end of every season...we used to have a garage full of em.

They have grilles right in the middle of the resort. Don't remember if gas or propane tho. No need to bring a grille, I can pony up for some charcoal and fluid though!

Bringin a couple Messican buds along as well, maybe some carne asada and home made accessories would be in order?

how is the water in big river. is it shallow or can i bring the new boat?

« **Reply #238 on:** June 16, 2010, 02:03:21 PM »

Starts off low in the AM, then gets better by mid morning.

You should be good with the new boat, but you might want to bring an extra prop just in case.

I've been in Parker since Saturday... Had some thunder clouds Saturday and Sunday that helped keep the temps down a little.

Monday was nice, hot but nice.

Yesterday we went up to Lake Havazoo, cruised up into the Gourge area

floated down than buzzed through the Channel (picked up some trash in the impeller and had to nurse it back to the launch ramp). Wind picked up just as we were heading out, man it came up quick and got choppy

Today is windy (not big gusts, but blowing all the time), haven't even put the boat back into the water

Hope the weather is good for the weekend.

we will see. i am a little nervous about bringing it there for the first trip. but i did not buy it to sit in the garage. i wanted a boat that can do both river and lake and look damn good doing it. i will just have to be carefull.

how bad are the rocks there? or is it mostly just sand bars like blythe.

if you get too drunk, shut one eye so you can still see straight and not hit the rocks that are STICKING OUT OF THE FAWKING WATER MAKING THE ONLY RAPID LOOKING THINGS IN THE WHOLE RIVER THAT YOU CAN"T POSSIBLY NOT SEE like someone on another board did not too long ago.

I will be heading out tomorrow night and staying in Parker at my father-in-laws. I plan to run the boat in Parker on Friday morning for some last minute tuning (sp) as I just finished replacing the intake gasket. I hope to see you guys out in the water on Friday afternoon after I gas up and replenish the beer.
