how far is it down to Walters from the freeway by water? Headed out in a couple weeks and was thinking about making my way down there.

  32 miles a pretty good ways.  Only problem with Walters it's hard to float back up river when you have a problem.

  We have been talking about making a trip like that but we have the pontoon for support slash towing.  We were going to float most the way down.  I also put a tag line and tow my boat a lot of time.

  Not to mention it would cost me 525.00 to round trip it in my boat if I could haul 64 gallons of 110.  Not happening :thumbdown:

. True to a point if that was main purpose. We spend 50 percent of our time on the pontoon. We also use it when boat less friends show up.  Works as a fuel barge and NOS mothership. We enjoy both boat equally and if you have a boat that runs on race fuel you need something else.

What you get for having that hotrod motorboat ^-^

The news this morning said Caltrans was hoping to be diverting eastbound onto one lane of the westbound by Friday, but I didn't catch from where to where if they said. That could cause a pretty big bottleneck for a while, and may or may not be better than the 62.

We did it a couple times last year and found out the float down is great but coming back up river sucks so we started dropping the truck and trailer at Fishers the day before and just driving back to Blythe after. Way more enjoyable.
