El Cap

« **on:** August 27, 2007, 04:23:13 PM »

Hey Y'alls... heading out to El Cap, probably Sunday. Is anyone else going to be out there? Last year after seeing the line at San Vin I went to El Cap and got on without a problem -do you think it's going to fill this year?

Thanks

oh yeah... I'll be in this:

It will fill, eventually. get there before ? 10:00 and you should be fine. I'm hoping to go to El Cap on Sunday as well but I won't know until much later in the week. I'll be in this...

El Cap is down in our part of town. About 15 minutes and we are there. I prefer El Cap to San V because you can pretty much always get on the water.

Just as Klesh says... Both are east of San Diego. From the OC area maybe an hour and a half or so when towing? Small city reservoirs but they are clean (unlike Elsinore) and you can drink boat sodas (just don't drive.) Nice scenery and off the beaten path a bit. For SD it fits the bill nicely -no 5 or 6 hour drive to Havasu/Parker.

I lived right on Willow Rd. down the street from San V and El Cap. Those lakes are ok for like a day deal or a few hours, but if you want to have a real boating weekend then go to Havasu or Mohave, or the river. But thanks to Gas Prices that's making ir harder and harder

The whole get there befor 10am thing is just on sundays. The people at el cap told me they are closing down san v a lot earlier than expected due to those damn muscles! So now el cap is gonna get crowded quick.

« **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2007, 01:23:53 PM »

ewwww i dont like those sticky things......are they having that problem down there too? w/ the zebra muscles?

« **Reply #12 on:** August 28, 2007, 01:30:02 PM »

One lake already got them and the other lake dosent want to get them so they are closing down the one that already has them.

« **Reply #14 on:** August 28, 2007, 05:31:38 PM »

You'll want to get all your gas/food/snacks before you turn onto El Monte, there aren't any concessions at the lake . Once your on El Monte you drive through BFE and end up at the lake ($5 boat + $5 adults/$2.50 kids). The reservoir is pretty straight forward... a place to hang out next the the ramp or you can go down the "North Arm" -is easy to find anyone out there. I'm usually up the Arm on the east side, there are beaches and the SS Relief is nearby. The lake does allow lake lice but they are limited to their own area.

There is a 7-11 on the corner you turn on to go to the lake. And the 7-11 has a gas station , and there is a taco shop in the same parking lot.

My personal favorite aspect of El Cap.

« **Reply #19 on:** August 29, 2007, 01:38:38 PM »

I will be there on Sunday

Planning to get there before 10. Only problem I have had since my rebuild is the "heater outlet" rubber plug cracked and blew off...again... Legal Chem remembers last time that happened

But this time I didn't panic and got it beached and fixed without incident. I am bringing a coleman grill for dogs/polish sausages so let me know if anyone wants me to bring extras

Hope to see a lot of you guys out there.

« **Reply #21 on:** September 01, 2007, 08:56:51 AM »

oh ya, I'm bring klesh too.

« **Reply #22 on:** September 01, 2007, 11:50:54 AM »

Crap-o-la. I start this thread and can't make it.... FYI, don't do any concrete work near the areas where you NEED to pull your boat out from. What a dumb arse! I'm going to try and see if I can trailer around it... but I may be sh!t up creek (with a boat)

« **Reply #23 on:** September 01, 2007, 12:57:52 PM »

I'll be there
