not sure if you have ever boated near the casinos....but its 100 times worse than a holiday weekend in front of the Avi. I'd rather go down to big bend. its closer to the spots we boat.

I was just thinking of location for the end of the day drive, I don't care where we launch 

heres the basic rule here....if youre too drunk to drive your car on the road, you shouldnt be driving your boat in the first place.

i find it funny theres more concern about driving 5 miles on a road to the hotel then driving amongst your friends in your boat all day.

not trying to be a debby downer here, but its something that shouldnt be taken lightly. lets be a little bit more responsible here guys.

I completely agree with you Brad, but the ugly reality is that road cops are LOOKING for DUI a lot harder than boat cops, there's a big difference between too drunk to drive your boat and too drunk to drive your truck. What I mean by that is this, if I'm in my boat, been knocking back coldies all day I'm usually ok to drive, my boat. I'm a lot more aware of my environment and surroundings when I'm on the water. Now put me in my truck & all bets are off, especially if they bust out the breathalyzer.

I'm not advocating drunken boating, just trying to save someone a DUI.

Terrys driving the 460 boat

This I gotta see...

Where do you anticipate doing the actual boating, going up to the lake or boating on the river?  I'm thinking the water will be a bit nippy.  I don't mind nippy on the girls but not too keen on it myself.   

We'll be on the river, water will be fine...

Nice boat man! I spotted that one on Craigs a while back. Welcome to the Hallett Bubble Deck Crew! 

X3 

I'm in!!

Twin Palms closed for cleaning that weekend?

Too much water is coming out. You want a fine mist about 6" long out of your pipes at speed, not cotton candy fluff like you've got. Turn some of the header water down, you'll be glad you did

Brad's right. People were crying about $25 shipped!

So now you don't want me to do another run of hats? Found a guy local to me, price is way right.

This is one of the best views in the world to wake up to....

These are the original cars, they've been restored and are rumored to be on the way to the California Hot Rod Reunion in October...

This year's dates are Friday 10/7/11 to Monday 10/10/11. In years past we've been at the Avi, and it's always worked out for us. Unfortunately they've got new management that's a pain in the ass. That being said, this year our host hotel is going to be the River Palms in Laughlin http://www.river-palms.com/. They were super accomodating to our needs, they've got great room rates and secure boat parking.

We can launch from a number of places but Big Bend State Park is the closest, and it's reasonably priced and we can go anywhere from there that we'd normally go http://parks.nv.gov/bb.htm

Room rates are as follows;

Friday 10/7/11-$42.99
Saturday 10/8/11-$42.99
Sunday 10/9/11-$17.99

There is the usual $50 charge to cover any damages, you don't get charged this unless you damage shit, so be good and save your $$$. They have rooms that take pets, they've waived the pet fee but not the deposit that you'll get back provided Fido doesn't eat the TV.

As soon as I have confirmation I will post up the group code. Reservations are on you, you have until 14 days before the event to make the reservation & get the rates.

See you in October

Gord,

PM me a number that I can reach you on.
