closing the sand bar

[Rod2614]

Have you noticed all the reeds on the sandbar. Well, mark my words they will call it a new bird sanctuary and close it down full time. So we need to get ride of the reeds.
I have two ideas: one pull the out when you are there. two have all your pot smoking friends throw all there seeds in the reeds and the feds will mow it down for us, or they won't and there will be a bumper crop of hemp...... SEED THE REEDS

[h2oski2fast]

Bullshit, The water hasnt been high enough in the last couple years to keep the weeds under water.
Ohhhhhh it must be a conspierecy.... Maybe you should stop going to Havasu.
Or, make me a bicycle, clown!

[Rod2614]

I have seen the water level higher and lower in the 15 years I have been going to the sandbar. Never has there been green lush REEDs not weeds growing there. The water level has little to do with it. Reeds can and do grow in high or low water levels. I hope your right and I am wrong. I work on the bike for you...lol

Whatever funny guy, just shut up and make it! LOL.

[hallett21]

So what will you do with all the reeds that you pull? Leave them there? Let them float down river? Load them up in your boat? Smoke them?
The reeds will not close the sandbar. MARK MY WORDS.
It's all just part of nature doing it's thing.

Well, now that it is June and the Reeds are still there am I still wrong. No sand showing just reeds. Next year or the year after, it will be closed. And ye with no foresight will be crying.

[Cigalert]

Why don't you try getting jacked off under the dinner table....in front of the whole damn family, and have some real problems.
JACKASS!

[VEGASBABY]

Excuse me while I go Ice my balls and spit up blood.... Team player!

[Jyruiz]

Who knows what will happen, but maybe if the sandbar is closed permanently, the bad element will stay away from Havi and there will be less crowdes.:idea: I doubt it.

[RaceFace]

"MA! The MEATLOAF!! FOCK!!"

[CornWater]

No, what's wrong with you? You're projecting!

Just another attempt of the Man trying to keep us down:idea: I'm sure they planted the reeds in a covert opp to stop the topless twister and the such.:jawdrop: Anarchy I tell you Anarchy, or............Maybe I'm just all jacked up on Mountain Dew.:D

[Rod2614]

Hay what happened to the guy that said I was an idiot and the reeds would be gone by summer and I should build him a bike. he pulled his comets. :jawdrop: so am I wrong now smart guy...your bike is ready....lol

[Phat Matt]

Yeah? Well, the proper girl in the hat just eye-focked the shit out of me.

As long as the sandbar is still open you are wrong. I was there this weekend along with 50 or so other boats so yes, you are wrong. If they wanted to close the sandbar they would just close it like they do on some holiday weekends.

[Deano]

Yeah? Well, the proper girl in the hat just eye-focked the shit out of me.
Grab that net and catch that beautiful butterfly, pal!..You sandbaggin' son of a bitch!...

[bignet]

:D I couldn't resist..Happy Bday to me!
"I guess it is a little creepy, when a guy whose an only child loses his parents one month before his bday, and his best friend makes a promise to never let him sleep alone the night of his bday...I guess that would go under the category of a little creepy!" WC

You are an idiot. In your first post you stated "Originally Posted by Rod2614

Last time I checked, it was still open. Forget the bike, how about you get a life you DORK!

If all of you who think ROD is full of crap, maybe you should read todays front page of Todays News Herald RE: noise on the river. Maybe there's more to ROD's statement than you want to admit to yourself.
OH YA, maybe you doubting Harrys are getting ready for this years Barstow to Vegas motorcycle race, they said that would never stop also. Same group of guys stopped that as the ones managing the river wildlife refuge. THINK about it!

Refuge cracks down on boat noise
By DAVID BELL
Monday, August 13, 2007 9:26 PM MST
The music is loud and the engine is thumping, rattling windows at homes up the hill from Lake Havasu. Just a typical boating day on the Colorado River.
Not in the Lake Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. Refuge Manager John Earl said his enforcement officers are cracking down on loud boats in the wildlife area.
“It's an obvious issue for us to try and stop wildlife disturbance. It reduces the value of the habitat,” Earl said.
The refuge straddles Arizona and California, which have different standards for measuring excessive noise. Arizona uses a running standard that a boat can't emit more than 87 decibels (db) of noise heard at a maximum of 50 feet away. California uses an idling standard of 88-90 db from up to five feet away.
Federal regulations, which apply to the refuge, require that vehicles may not produce “unusual or excessive noise,” a nebulous definition. Earl said his team uses the two state standards when it comes to quieting things in the wildlife area.
“The boats we stop - there's no doubt,” Earl said.
Another marine-based group checks noise but doesn't enforce a law. Lake Havasu Marina checks boats' sound levels before allowing them to launch. The marina's policy is that if a boat idles at 86 db or less from 10 feet away, it can launch. If not, the operator should look to launch elsewhere.
Earl said he's getting a mixed reaction to his agency's efforts.
“Some people say that's what Havasu is all about. This is why performance boaters come here to do their thing,” Earl said. “I understand, but there's a whole lot of lake that isn't refuge.”
Earl said that over time, most boaters would come to appreciate the limitations, much like they favor the no-wake zone implemented in the refuge at Devil's Elbow.
Initially, boaters complained about slowing down through the sharp turns in the river. Now, Earl said, there are boaters who come to the refuge because of the slower speed limit, allowing them to enjoy the beauty of the river and the refuge.
Boat noise, from music or powerful engines, is a concern that local law enforcement agencies share but don't have the manpower to combat.
Mohave County Sheriff's Lt. Randy Johnson said his agency will stop a boat suspected of grossly violating the noise limits, but the priority of deputies on the water lies elsewhere.
“At this time of year, we're more concerned about safety violations,” Johnson said. “When it's spring and fall, without as much activity on the lake, we can do more noise checking.”
San Bernardino County Sheriff's Cpl. Jim Trahan agreed, saying, “We'd rather save someone's life first.”
Like the other agencies, SBCSO is limited by manpower and equipment.
Another limiting factor is that the offending boat must be easily identified, a virtual impossibility in the Bridgewater Channel on a summer weekend, when the boats are lined hull to hull.
“Unfortunately, there's no way to single a boat out for loud noise,” said Lake Havasu City police Lt. Rich Sloma. “However, our officers will contact some boats about the exhaust systems.”
Sloma said police are looking at ways to enforce the noise regulations in the future.
