Title: MEMORIAL WEEKEND TRIP 5/22 - 5/25
Post by: NiXoN1904 on April 21, 2015, 11:58:53 AM

I am headed out to Parker strip for Memorial weekend and was looking to see if anyone else is going that I can meet up with. Just me my wife and my pup. Would love to meet some fellow so cal jet boat members while out there.

I hope you have a nice beach to hang out on while you're there, unfortunately the water conditions will suck for most of the day.

The best way to get together with a lot of SCJB members is to join us at one of the gatherings.

What Crew Chief said most of us will be on the lower river that weekend. I like Parker in October. I do have a collection of sunk jet boats and flatties photos from this time of year.

I'm not sure, but I think Twin Palms as well as most places on the river, are mobile home/RV parks.
Some places might have park model trailers to rent.

Big River has the Big River Inn, just below the dam from Parker. Blythe has a lot of hotel/motel places right off the 10.
You could stay in Blythe and have a lot of parks to day camp at, most within 5 to 20 min away.
When I went to Blythe, we stayed at the Clarion Inn and thought it was nice.
There are some threads about places to stay on the Lower River http://www.socaljetboats.com/lower-river/ (http://www.socaljetboats.com/lower-river/).

Good luck and be safe.  :thumbup:

Best western in ehrenberg az is a good spot, cross over the highway and you can launch there, I think it was 10 bucks, if all you've really been to is Parker you will fall in love with the lower river in a heartbeat, just keep an eye out for sand bars and you'll experience some of the best water the river has to offer in my opinion, have a blast and be safe!🍻👍👍👍
