this is my and alamo jimmys race schedule so dont plan anything on those weekends or we will not be able to make it.

Are these dates for sure? What's goin on with room rates. LET'S DO THIS!

We have rooms blocked and the room rate discount is set, but we are waiting for the green light from the BWRC. They will be telling us first thing next week.

stand by for details.

Hey Brad, seeing as everyone knows whats up with this, why not change the title of this thread We can then start a roll call, and yes I know it's early

The last week of March or the first week of April would be my vote.    Assuming I get a vote 

I've never been to Parker and am down to go. 7 hours is a little far for a 2 and a half day trip.

Oh I'm fine with this, and it's great! Don't get me wrong. Any chance to hang with the crew is a good day! 2.5 hours from Vegas though Brad? REALLY? Use your TRUCK to tow the boat, not someones Prius..........It's 3.5 hours to Parker from PHX and yes 5 hours to TB. A trip worth the drive. So is Parker.

I was only pointing out, and I think Marc, Chromie, Nordie and I are the only ones to make both TB trips, hence the only ones with a valid opinion. Tradition has it's place and many memories were made these last 2 years. My kids love that place. Crewcheifs daughter, I think, had a good time, and theres something else to be said for the so-called "sour" bartender who drove home and brought us back her personal BBQ utensils and supplies last year for the parking lot BBQ. It could only go smoother from here, but that's me. Lack of planning and communication on OUR part I think was to blame on the bar issue.

If I want a craps, poker or blackjack table, I can drive 15 minutes to one from nearly anywhere, anytime in AZ. This is all about us and boating.

As far as amenities, most of you camped IN THE DIRT at Mcintyre last year, and beleive me, amenities there are far fewer than at TB! Somewhat closer access to more, granted. I just don't get that gripe. Gas prices in Blythe are not that unlike TB. WAY above AZ prices, and how many bars, if Tony did NOT have the trailer, were at Mcintyre?

Did ANYONE NOT have a good time at TB?   

I will still make TB this year, and will as much as possible. I think the twin jet has a good chance to make the entrance to the Grand Canyon from there and back and we're gonna try it at least once when the boat is done.  I will make this trip, but I think it needs to be another separate trip in early April and my .02, TB needs to remain. 

Rant over, see you guys wherever this year.

Ray...i concur with some of your points...but on the other hand i know you can agree with me that last years trip "compared to 2009" that things have changed at temple..  Honestly im looking forward to a long term deal...and temple just simply rubbed me the wrong way...i talked to bob atleast 4 times before we came out there last time....granted hes the general manager out there i single handidly told him make sure the bar is stocked up...when the restraunt. People told me that the bar was closed. .i was simply devistated....so what did i do i went to bob and he made it happen at the bar...the iver all tab for 2 hours in their bar was $750...my point is i dont want to pull teeth to make something normal happen...lets give parker a shot..."you cant knock it till you try it "

Going 5-10 over the speed limit with boat in tow, Laughlin is 1.5 hours. Havasu is typically 1 hour longer, and Parker is past Havasu

Tb was 1 1/2 going over the dam...however it did take me 3 hours once....granted the brige is open now its probably closer to an hour now

Any new info?, dates, rooms etc?

Daniel
Mash on it

yeah, its all set....josh finalized everything with the BWRC this week.

i will post a thread on it today with all the details including room group rate discount codes.

until then, heres some of the basics....its the weekend of March 25-27 and it is at the BlueWater Resort and Casino in Parker, AZ. Dont book your rooms just yet as we need everyone to use the group rate code.
