Does anyone know for sure where everyone is meeting?

Does anyone know for sure where everyone is meeting?

  at the cove

There really is only one ramp, the one we all know and love at Elsinore West Marina.  There are a couple places on the Ortega Mtns. side but Crane's is very narrow and there isn't much room for your rig.   West Marina has tons of parking and 8 or ten lanes wide.  Its channel to the main lake is also the deepest.   In the past lots of people have spent a long time BS'ing in the parking lot before actually launching.  But the end destination still seems to be Coors Cove at the opposite end of the lake.  Actually the much bigger cove next to it would be better (safer) for racing but nobody seems to go there.
Don't worry about it too much, just listen for the blowers and unmuffled headers. 

Google link for directions and a map

If you come in on Riverside Dr. as you come down the big hill just before the lake there is an Albertson's / Chevron/AM PM right there for all your needs except race gas.  A block past Riverside and Lakeshore on the right is Hunny's if you want a real breakfast or donuts on the left if you speak Vietnamese or pay cash.
Drive until you see the big white wall directly across from the high school.  Pretty easy deal really.  You will probably have to go into the market/trailer to get launch permit.   As long as you get there after me, the bathrooms behind the market are real clean and probably more than you deserve.

    Those of you who get there before me, feel free to use a porta-potty located near the ramp for your convenience.  

Oh yeah, and don't forget to keep your front wheels out of the water.   

We wont be there this year, leaving for the desert on friday.
Here's a pic of our rigs in the West Marina parking lot. Like Keith said it was vacant lot, but it wont be this year.
And another with Ralph's, Keith's and our boats

My crew is in mutiny mode.  If anyone wants to launch, drink, and retrieve lemme know.   I'd prefer to be there no later than 9 and open to leaving most anytime also.   Lemme know . . .

Hate Mutiny's! Next time we see them, let's make them walk the plank!

You bring the Bloody Mary's, I'll supply my Black Midget crew, hows that? (Skip and I will be there as well, shorthanded, hopefully I feel better than I do tonight, but nothings stopping me!).

RJ has laid down the law on which boat is going too....
