Re: iboats West get together!!!

Park Moabi is a awesome campground I've been going to for 20+ years. Located on theriver and some sites accomodate up to 12 vehicles and maybe as many boats in the water. Reservation normally booked 1 year in advance during summer months but 4-1 shouldn't be a problemo. 30 minutes to an hr drive by boat to Havasu through the Havasu wildlife refuge. Depending on the eddy's. Anyway, I'll talk to the wife and we'd be Motorhoming it. I just prefer the river to the lake. We ski alot and that lake can get rough.

tylerin,<br /><br />Agree, on the river and skiing. Too cold up there for me though. I kinda grew up going to Willow Valley about 15 miles north of Park Moabi . . . I remember some really blue skin ;) <br /><br />I really hope you can make it.

Plan on being there Friday evening and staying on the island. Where would be the best place to put in and get to the island?

Re: iboats West get together!!!

AzMM,<br /><br />Do you mean the Island formed by London Bridge (Peninsula) or Friendly Island that I mentioned for camping on the water? <br /><br />On the peninsula/island try this:<br /><br /> Crazy Horse <br /><br />For Friendly Island, my BIL is going out on Wednesday night to squat on some campsites. He tells me we should have enough room for others, but there is no reserving. He is gonna spread out as much as possible . . . For there, I recommend using Lake Havasu Marina to launch:<br /><br />Havasu Marina<br /><br />GPS coordinates for Friendly Island: N34 25.226 W114 17.469<br /><br />Only accessible by boat! I will be posting contact stuff as we get closer, so that we can coordinate meeting up on Saturday and for any coordinating of camping on Friendly Island.

Friendly Island. I guess you can leave your tow vehicle parked at the marina for $10.00 a day?

When imbibing Mead, be sure you don't rush out in front of an Ox Cart. ;)

Come on. If you are going to plug something, do it right. ;) What kind of trade show? Got any passes? Always on the look for a bigger better deal......

Re: iboats West get together!!!

AzMM,<br /><br />So far I think you are the only one planning to stay on Friendly Island. We will do everything we can to hold a spot. My BIL says that room for boats is not an issue, just tents and stuff. We'll find a way as long as he gets the spots he's thinking. We can communicate more when we get closer to the date. I'll get news on how much room by Thursday AM the 30th.

How are we going to find each other? Is there going to be a time and place for everyone to meet somewhere?<br /><br />John

Re: iboats West get together!!!

Yes, John. I think I said something up there somewhere, but I am thinking the main docks in front of the Nautical. Anyone without a boat could park in the lot and walk down to the docks. Leaning towards 12:00 now as it is just warming up then. Ideas are very welcome.<br /><br />BTW, Lake Havasu Marina is shown here fairly well. Left on Marina Rd. Nautical Inn is next left. Not sure what the red star is, this is on the Marina Website. Havasu Marina <br /><br />
