Cottonwood Cove Last Weekend

[JetBoatRich]

We were lucky enough to hang out with the Pasadena Ski Club in Cottonwood Cove last weekend. Great club that has been around for many years :jawdrop: rumor is around 40 years :jawdrop:
We also had the company of the Jetdriver family and great friends.
We arrived Thursday evening and it was pretty windy, which stayed through Friday Morning. Lucky for us it stopped around 10 a.m. found a cove then took a run up past Willow Beach to the Hot Springs, which were pretty darn hot.
We participated in the Dam run when it came through Saturday which was awesome first hearing all the boats come into Cottonwood Cove then seeing them. The run was very fun and the group was great. On the way back we found a cove and hung out and let the kids swim.
Special Thanks to John and Johnna for letting us ride along with them :D

Rich thanks for posting the pics! We had a great time! What a great place to vacation. The dam run was pretty good. I'm pretty sure we were the smallest boat out there, but it wasn't as bad of a ride as I thought it would be. Thanks Rich, Steph, lil' Rich, John and Johnna for being such great company! Looking forward to the next trip out together. :D :D
Rich, Shawn is having a hard time getting pics up. Shoot me a pm with your email and I'll send a couple your way... :)

Rich,
I think its time we get together, maybe at Mohave. I wish I could have met you folks last weekend. But it was kind of like I was on a mission !!! Had to complete the Dam Run. It started off real good. But took a sudden turn to shit when I saw the alt was not working. So we scrambled to get it fixed to make the run. We had an hour and a half late start.
Hope to meet more of you all soon !!!

[Debbolas]

Awesome pics!!!
Cottonwood is one of our favorite places and it was so nice to finally meet you in person (after chatting online for so long) It was great to meet your famiily too :D

I have spent a lot of time there on Mohave a new of the hotsprings but have never made the hike...looks awsome! how far would you say is the hike?

The hike/walk is only about 15 minutes :D toughest part for some maybe the climbing the ladder :idea: wearing flip flops makes it more fun :D

[Mrs.JBR]

Hot Springs are about a 1/4 mile...there is a smaller pool B4 the main pool, which is also B4 the ladder. Water shoes would work well :boxed:

[Rock-A-Bye-Baby]

Great pics Rich....
