where to go?

[famaffair]

what's up all? just bought my first boat and I am happy to say it's a 26 signature from Commander. Where is a good location to hang out at the lake with the wife and kids? bbq, pop up a canopy and enjoy the day?

Where do you live?

[famaffair]

inland empire, temecula valley

Lake Elsinore, Perris Lake, would only go there until the true river season starts...

That's a big boat for them small lakes. CAreful out there. Lot of lake lice and rookies out there. I would make the trip to Parker or Havasu if I were you. There is always Silverwood lake too, up the CAjon Pass.

thanks for the insight, I will post some photos as soon as I figure out how!

Congrats on the new boat. Might be a real good idea to hit Elsinore first to get use to launching, driving, the way the boat handles and any bugs in it. You dont want to drive all the way out to the river and not know your boat. Take her easy and have fun

[famaffair]

thnx, i'll probably head up to peris this weekend

Good idea, you dont want to go out when its a zoo. By the summer you'll be a pro... look'in like you've been do'in it your whole life. You can always spot a rookie :cool:

Hey there, we're in Temecula area (French Valley)... welcome!

[WILD LAVEY]

upload your photos to the media center and re post them

[famaffair]

exactly, across from the airport

Hey famaffair, I bumped up a post that kinda explains how to do it. First you gotta post your pics in the Image Center. Hope it helps as a start.
See "how to post pics......" at the top of Sandbar now.

Off Hunter or that area? We're down Auld.

Welcome...........here is a post that Rex has posted in the past, this will really help you with your pic posting...........If you upload them to the image center, I can help you. First you must join/log on to the ***boat image center....(I would recommend Park Moabi, still my favorite place to go) :wink:
here is the post...................
Here's a message I've posted in the past on this...
================
First thing is you must have your image hosted somewhere on the internet.. This can be ***boatimage center or elsewhere, doesn't matter. What you can't do is have it on you own computer and have it appear in a thread.
Assuming you done the above...
Bring the image up on screen wherever you have it hosted (we'll assume ***boat image center for now).
Right click on the image
A drop down menu will appear at the bottom will be properties
Click on properties.
A window will popup showing information on the photo.
One of the thing will be the URL address which starts with http....
Highlight the address (starting with the http) with your cursor
Go do edit on your tool bar (edit) and click "copy" (this copys the address you just highlighted to the clipboard on your computer)
Now go to the thread you want to post in (a second window open is handy for this)
When you post you will see a series of buttons at the top of the posting window.
Click on IMG.(the one with the mountain and the sun)
A separate window will pop up that will have http.... in it. The http... will be highlighted. Hit delete. Now the box will be blank.
Now go to your tool bar again (edit) and click on "paste".
This pastes the address of the picture (which you copied earlier) into the little window.
Click done or whatever it says to complete. You will now see the image address code appear within your posting window.
Its important you only have one http series within your IMG tags which is the reason we hit delete above. Otherwise you end up with two and it won't work.
When finished your code should look something like this (with no spaces) and substituting [ ] for my ( ).
(IMG]http://yourpictureaddress[/IMG)
You can type message above or below the IMG tags but don't disturb them or anything between them because that is your picture address code.
In other words you could have...
--------------------------------
Hi, this is my boat
(IMG]http://yourpictureaddress[/IMG)
For more info call such and such.... and so on.
------------------------------
In the above example one line of text would appear above your photo and one below. The part between the IMG tags is your photo.
hope that helps.
