Ive done every memorial day of my life down there on the willow beaches, always launched at circle beach and headed up or down a few beaches to drink and throw shoes like we have done the last 27 years and my dad for probably 20 before that, BUT, last year was my last. I said it was my last the year before as well but love it down there. Anyways your guys "party" involves being total assholes. Every year its people either starting fights with us or blocking the ramp with a truck that has a sign on it that says "tows $20" and making us back into the soft shit and get stuck. Last year some asshole parked his pontoon purposely blocking the ramp so we couldnt get out and he was sitting in it! I walked over from the next beach and asked him nicely to move and he said no and if you have a problem with that go talk to them. I had to go pull out at the avi. Everyone down there got this complex of "locals only" mother fuckers ive been on these beaches and funning around mohave valley my whole damn life. Yes we're weekender sbut who gives a flying ****! Sorry if this isnt you directly but this shit is not what we go to the river for. I got all fired up typing that.
We were at circle beach or the one next to it on a non holiday weekend the year before last, and set up camp around 10:00 am on a Saturday. We had a 25 ft party barge, a jet boat, and a sea doo. The locals started showing up around 2:00 to 3:00, and the next thing we know, are surrounded on both sides. They kinda just took over and let their kids run amok through our camp. There were several MMA wana bees, and after they got tuned up, decided to play tap out, and ended up into our canopy. My daughter tried to stop them and ended up getting punched in the nose by one of them. There was 30 or 40 of them and only 8 of us. My son went ballistic and went after the first one he found, which turned out not to be the one doing the hitting. This then started a mini riot which ended with us throwing our stuff on the pontoon and leaving. The only good thing that happened was the fat F***ER that hit my daughter got the S**T beat out of him in front of all of his friends by his mother right there on the beach after she found out he hit a girl. This is the reason we do not go out on holiday weekends. We stick to the week before or the week after.
