Memorial Day - What's everyone doing?

[Trouble Maker]

I'd prefer to go to Lake Mead, but I'm afraid most of the days would be spent with a bunch of idiots at the launch ramps. Currently though I plan to launch early Friday morning and spend at least one full day on the lake...Friday shouldn't be too bad at the ramps, but I imagine Saturday's gonna be a total mad house. Thought about camping Friday night, but that's too much of a pain in the ass with the kids... Right about now a covered slip with a lift sure does sound nice.....

[kevnmcd]

I will be in my back yard drinking beer and swimming! :D Just can't deal with all the traffic getting there and back.

[ybull]

Saturday- Cookout and pool with the neighbors
Sunday- Pahrump winery on the bike
Monday 31st anniversary wike says what to do:smashfreak:

[Redneckgirl]

At my sons swim meet all weekend Friday - Sunday!!! Monday at Lake Nacimeinto!!!

[STV_Keith]

Heading to Phoenix to hit Lake Pleasant with the Phx guys.

[Red Horse]

Lake Mead is not bad on Memorial. Go out of Echo and stay past the narrows and it is about like any other weekend. Sunday is when the idiots will start getting out there with rentals and bad attitudes. My plan was always go early Friday, stay till Sunday mid day then leave, clean boat and recover Monday. About the time they are getting there, I am on my way out!

Sat. morning- hit the ramp about 11:00, should be good and crowded. drink tons of beer, back to the Marina around 5, should be good and crowded and lots of rangers. Sunday, more of the same, Monday, do it all over again. Can anyone recommend the best Marina w/ the biggest crowds?:drinkers:

[DaddyMack]

Sat Lake Mohave (out of Katherines Landing) and thn sat nite and sunday and the Zoo... coming home Sunday night.... might hit LM on Monday.. but maybe not..lol... maybe just my buddies houseboat in the Marina..hehe :drinkers:

[VegasHallett]

We are leaving for Echo bay Friday afternoon and spending both Friday and Saturday night at the marina. The upper basin is not bad at all for memorial day. We will be a Hallett beach and around temple bar all weekend and will be leaving Sunday afternoon.

[Tee]

Building a deck in the back yard........Wouldn't want to deal with all the Morons and idiots at the ramp and lake this weekend anyway.

[just another payment]

Bullhead city, either lake mohave (launch at telephone) or the river( launch at laughlin marina) will be there late friday and come home late monday.

[spinwax]

Lake Havazoo... Yeah, I know we are crazy, but we are riding with friends not launching our boat.

We missed you by a week, Heather and I were in Laguna Niguel last weekend visiting Mom and went to the Extreme off road show in Costa Mesa.
Sorry you can't make the lake...Tell the girls GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

Here is my exact plan almost to a tee. I will be lauching Friday (probably Echo) Staying at the Sandy beach towards Overton, thinking about cruising up to Big Sandy past Temple Bar on Saturday. Stay on the Arizona side Saturday night, then make my way back to the ramp on Sunday late.

Look for the 270 hallett closed bow in Vegas Hallett sig. Also have a 28 closed bow eliminator w/checkers on the side towards the back. Boat stays in the water overnight @ echo. I'll have a blue ez up up on the beach(hallett beach)

i need a refresher on the regs for going to the bottom of the dam. if i want to go up river this weekend i can only go on sat. correct? it's only open from tues. thru sat.? my folks are coming into town on friday so i don't know at all what our plans will be. if we go to mojave and plan on heading north, we'll probably launch from willow because it's considerbly closer than cottonwood. my mom isn't outdoors type so i don't want to make ride 50 miles one way up river.

[caliber 1]

We will be going thursday and launching at cottonwood, we dont know anyone so we will be out boarding alone, so if anyone notices a pink and purple caliber stop us.... we are looking for other boating friends..

we will be in the cove just south of the ramp, If we get there soon...

I'll be around the same area on Friday and Saturday. Hope to see you around.

[BADFISH II]

We were headed out - but some plans for our guests fell through on top of picking up some show tix from one of my clients. End result - probably no boating this weekend! BUT - lots of beer, pool time with the kids, and TWO shows - COLLECTIVE SOUL and BADFISH - GEE - wonder why I would want to go to those bands :)

You came to the right place, just a big weekend and everyone is going different places. You will enjoy the regatta, to bad I will be in Panama, I hate to miss it.

[panic button]

Washing clothes and packing to leave for Florida on Tuesday. Close on the house on Wednesday, then hang on on the beach for a few days...

I'll be putting in at Callville Friday...I'll work my way up the lake to where your at and spend the night. What "Sandy Beach" you talking about? Why don't you put in at Callville to?? On Friday there still should be plenty of parking..

[Essex502]

Staying home and enjoying the 3 days off. Was in Havasu last weekend for 3 days and will be in Havasu next weekend for 3 days. Why do I need to put up with the circus of Havasu on Memorial Day? Have fun everyone. Look out for the idiots on the water and on the road.

[PUMP 'HER']

Staying home and enjoying the 3 days off.

Same here. It's 7:30am and I've already had a few drinks and don't plan to stop until Monday night. Gonna fire up the grill, swim a little and drink a lot. :drinkers:
