OK, here's the deal, I've been visiting over on www.texashotboats.com and got talking about the Texas boys coming west for a river run.  http://texashotboats.com/forums/index.php?topic=8146.msg91542#msg91542

I also know that the guys from www.skagenboats.com (jrork) have been talking about trying to come south

I was thinking it would be cool to make a multi-day, multi-location, multi-(web)site gathering.

I was thinking of a day on the Parker Strip, a day at Big River, and a day at Blythe/Martinez.

Invade the Blue Water Casino for a place to stay, easy on to Parker, short trip to Big River and only 45 minutes to Blythe.

Opinions/comments?

Sounds like a good time, when are you thinking?

I think I remember jrork talking about late in the season (sept/oct).

Well, the good thing is that there will be plenty of trucks around to help launch so the RV'er don't have to up-root every time.

And 'sides that, Cheif seems to know how to launch everywhere and not even get his tires wet!

I, for one, volunteer my truck for service if this comes about and I'm able to do it.

I posted over at THB asking the members to post qustions/comments over here.

WELL .... i know who i would represent  

Yeah, you got stickers! Smart ass.

I, however,  would represent the Dairy Industry, on the other hand.............

Unless Brad comes up with some Black/white spotted SCJB stickers in the mean time.

jrork had suggested Oct for the northern guys, and by trying to get it going now maybe the Texas people will have enough time to prepare for it.

I sent jrork a PM trying to get him involved.

just to comment on the proposed months to host this event.......i do remember a scheduled event last sept/october and everyone pussed out saying it was 'too cold'

yeah, it was cold that particular weekend, but cold didnt stop us from havin a good ol time.

The Northwest guys would go even if there was snow on the damn ground, it's all the guys who live in the 80* average temps that have the sensitivity issue 

I'm down, motorhome or not, sound f-n awsome...

I got used to wearing a hoodie while boating this past weekend at Mead 

It's going to be up to the travelers as to when this will work out, I just want to help get it going if possible.

Although I'm not from the NW or Texas, I'd be interested in coming down for the tour, because I've never boated in socal (except at elsinore in Jan 09). I have heard all about these locations, and have seen pictures, but probably would not tow down to explore for myself. I'd be much more excited about being guided by some experienced boaters--plus it's always more fun to boat as a group.

On a similar note, I noticed that a number of families from the Banderlog board (legally not a "group", but individual families), are going to meet up at the delta July 31-Aug 1, camping at the Tower Park camp ground. If of the socal boaters might be interested in exploring the San Joaquin/Sacramento delta, and it is an amazing place to boat, with some experienced norcal boaters, you can check it out here http://www.banderlog.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6875
I have done this Tower Park event 3 or 4 times and had a great time boating and meeting other boaters.

I'm going to be delivering my trailer to Parker in the next couple weeks.  I'll try to gather some information on some of the camp grounds & motels in the area.
